    Featured Smoker Build from old boiler

    You know, I can't answer that just yet. I started that smoke show with a full 100 lb'er and it was really heavy. I finished after 10 1/2 hrs and.... it was really heavy! I should weigh it to find out, but I was surprised that it didn't take much at all! If I had to guess, I'd guess it was...

    Featured Smoker Build from old boiler

    It is a single tube burner (48") that I purchased from Tejas Smokers in Houston, Texas. I have it sitting in the bottom of the unit, under a piece of 6" x 6" angle iron, 1/2 inch thick, to act as a flame deflector and provide uniform heat. I fabbed a metal box on top of that, in which to put...

    Just sayin, your two cents ain't worth much, if you haven't read the original post. I would have made a wood burning unit, if wood was closer than 3000 miles away. But it ain't......

    Not looking to "prove" anything...... I'm looking to smoke meat and would certainly not shy away from something "stupid proof". Propane can be purchased here, as can mesquite, pecan, cherry "chunks" from the local hardware store.... Thanks for the "anything but helpful" comment! ;)...

    The condition is good. It is being used vertically. Yeah, might need the insulation if I use it in the winter. I'm hoping to make a tubular ring burner to have the heat uniformly around the whole bottom. Maybe a 30 inch diameter ring of fire??

    Featured Smoker Build from old boiler

    I rescued a 50 year old boiler vessel from the clutches of nature recently. It measures 4 ft in diameter and is about 6 1/2 feet long. Have started a smoker build project with it. It is 1/4 " side walls with thicker top and bottom riveted onto it. So far, I have just cut the front access...
