so you didn't paint the firebox at all huh? interesting. What about the inside of the smoker? Am i correct in understanding that after you clean it you don't paint int but instead wipe it down with cooking oil and run the smoker for about 30 min to an hour in order to season it and that's all...
Oh wow i didn't know you had to cure it 3 different times. I guess i read right over that. Your smoker looks awesome. I don't mind having to do it 3 separate times since i will dedicate a full day to it. I read on the site that you have to apply multiple coats. Is that where the 3 separate...

Good day everyone,
I just have a quick question. Is there a preferred expanded steel dimension that is used to make the racks for a smoker? It is time to start making them and i am coming to find out there are a lot of different sizes. I plan on getting a giant sheet and cutting it to the...
Good Afternoon Everyone,
I actually only have a couple of questions. This is my very first time attempting to build a smoker from scratch. i have had some serious progress and i think it is coming out very well (full post on my build will be when im done and will include pics). i used...
What i have found in the past is for certain meats the foil process def makes it way more tender that someone may prefer. We smoked a couple butts yesterday cause i wanted to get a feel for how his smoker holds heat. Took about 10 hours for 10 pound butt. I had to leave his house so i don't...
Its actually a BBQ for a friend. he purchased a bunch of meat and asked me to be the smoke master. I couldn't say no lol. So am just basically there to cook. I typically don 't like the soft bark i may try your method of just leave it till done at 190*
Hey Everyone,
I was hoping to get some advise. It has been a while since i have smoked anything do to the building of my smoker (coming along nicely. Slowly but nicely). I am going to be smoking some beef spare ribs tomorrow for a large group and i just want to make sure my method is still...
Have you thought about using sheep casings? I am very interested in trying to make some Hot Dogs but i want the good snap to it. Your Hot Dogs look awesome. Are they on the softer side? I feel without the casings you can't get that awesome "POP". Am i wrong?
Sorry it has taken so long to reply. My computer broke. Thank you both from replying. So if you get the initial bad white smoke when you first burn your wood. Do most people start to burn there wood before they add more the smoker or can i just toss a long on top?
Thanks Everyone. I actually agree. I had the same thought. If im going to do all that just make it from scratch. I have sent the smoker back and using the money to buy some steel. Lets see how this goes. Ill try to keep everyone posted.
Hello Everyone,
I recently bought a new smoker that is pretty much the design i wanted for not that expensive. I bought it knowing i was going to have to make some modifications. Well it turns out the metal used on this thing is only about 16 gauge. Not sure what kind of metal it is. My...
Thanks Danny,
I looked into the rock wool insulation and its looking like the Thermo-Tec Heat Barrier is going to be cheaper. Thanks for the suggestion though i will be sure to keep everyone posted.
