Good morning Irvin!
First off, the closer you get to finishing it, the more I realize that thing is a beast! That's gotta be just about the biggest patio-style offset smoker I've ever seen!
I agree with Keith @JckDanls 07 that you may have some heat damage of those rubber tires closest to...
Evening Irvin!
Not saying it wouldn't be do-able, but I'd be wondering how to get air to your coal bed. The way a reverse flow is designed, it might be a challenge to get enough air to a charcoal fire sitting on top of that RF plate. I'm afraid it would choke itself out from lack of oxygen...
That folding stack looks like it turned out real nice - great job! And yeah - running overhead welds can definitely be a challenge for me too. I always try to run some practice beads on scrap first, in the same position, before laying a bead on a real work piece - which helps some.

I’m sure someone here has had similar problems. Something is utterly destroying our yard! Digging holes Everywhere! There are dozens of holes, growing more by the night. We suspected armadillos, and the suspicion was confirmed when Mrs. Red was driving out at 5 am a couple mornings ago…and...
My best recommendation is to use a reliable meat probe thermometer to insure the entire bird is done. Recommended internal temps for poultry is *165.
It's been my experience that, when smoking whole, intact chickens, it's a challenge to get the white meat and the dark meat both done at the...
Thanks Jeff - just the info I needed. I think I prefer the one you posted. The extra plug-in probes seems unnecessary for an instant read IMO, as I already have a 4-probe BBQ thermometer as well as a couple of single probe BBQ therms.
Not knocking the OP unit. It'd be great for someone who...
Do any of you guys have one of these? If yes, what's your opinion of it? I have an older Thermopen that still works well, but it wouldn't hurt to have a backup instant-read. Anyone have any direct experience with it?

Ryan, I hadn’t thought of that - this is clearly Jim’s fault! :emoji_laughing: :emoji_wink:
Seriously it is a relief to know they’re making it right.

So yesterday I got the caster feet and lower legs of the cart painted so I could reattach the casters permanently. Today's plan was to bolt the casters back on - if the paint was dry. Then, if I liked the height of the pull handle, get it all welded out. Then start fabrication on the 10" x...
Hey Bruce...I like it, but I suspect there won't be enough clearance under there for another fitting below a ball valve. Jim could certainly put a ball valve on the threaded drain, and still have room for a grease pan or bucket...but any extra fitting probably wouldn't allow enough room.

LMAO!! Man...that's kinda harsh Chris! :emoji_laughing:
Jim's mechanical aptitude aside...I really appreciate the comments, and I'll be updating again soon!
Yeah...OK - but I don't know how to start an IV :emoji_wink:
LOL!! :emoji_laughing::emoji_sweat_smile:
