    Fix My Smoker!

    PS:  In the drawing posted earlier, it shows the drip pan literally on top of the plate.  That can't be the case if you're gonna drill holes in the plate.  I'll take a look around the web. Thanks Paul

    Fix My Smoker!

    Great news!  I found a welder who will convert the bullet smoker to reverse flow for less than $500.  So, I am going to seal off one end completely, install a plate about 1/4 the way up the cylinder, install a firebox offset, and move the smoke stack, and add a drip pan with drain. Question...

    Fix My Smoker!

    I pulled that site down.  I'm rebuilding my other site now, so I have nothing to show you. I think there's a convection problem in the bullet, drying the meat out, plus there's nothing to keep all the ash off the meat.  It comes out dry and black.  The ones I did last night in the box smoker...

    Fix My Smoker!

    Thanks, guys.   I was thinking of moving the smokestack to one end and putting a plate on the bottom that leaves an opening at the other end, creating a reverse flow. First I was going to try to seal off the top half of both heat chambers, as was suggested.  This might pump heat and smoke into...

    Fix My Smoker!

    I bought a new smoker from a retiring caterer and have a few problems with it.  I created a website to solicit feedback.  It's www.fixmysmoker.com.  There I describe the design and problems I'm seeing, and seeking solutions.  Would love to have feedback either here or there on what you see that...
