Fire box size
I really like the look of that. Thanks for the pic. That is actually the way my husband had drawn up the doors but he had the firebox on the side. He was also fabricating a damper for the top. We really wanted to make it a built in smoker because we thought it would get more use and with as...- bethm78

Hello from the TX desert
You are right the whole state does feel like the desert and we fire up the grills and smokers to keep the heat outside. I I do think the majority of the hot air is straight out of Austin. Thanks again to all have read this site today until my eyes are almost crossed and I have a craving for... -
Fire box size
ok it is not going to work as an oven since I had the bright idea to have them stucco it when they did the fence. The higher temps of the oven could cause problems on the stucco overlay as it has a polymerized weatherproofing. Should not be a problem on the sides of the oven (roughly 9 inches...- bethm78

Hello from the TX desert
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone and all the information. It has been suggested that rather than turn the structure into a smoker I make it an oven and buy a smoker. So now looking into that idea as well. -
Fire box size
Believe it or not I actually thought of that. Nothing like brick oven bread but I thought I would use it more as a smoker. We are planning to gradually turn that area into a full outdoor kitchen/ sitting area but we need to move our storage shed first. After all the reading I have done on the...- bethm78

Hello from the TX desert
Thanks for the advice particularly on the thermometer. I am a decent cook and griller and do use meat thermometers but was looking at a probe for the smoker and could not decide on model etc. so that is already GREAT information. There is so much information on this site that I could spend... -
Fire box size
I found it and that and did come up with a size if I used it correctly. I posted a pic and dimensions but when I submitted it the site said since I was new it was being held for review. To me (untrained eye of course) it looks like my built in should make a good smoker set up.- bethm78

Hello from the TX desert
Hi from SW TX. My name is Beth and I am in El Paso. I grew up with smokin foods but unfortunately it was my dad and brother who did all the work. I was just a gofer. So.. I am here to learn. Hubby and I just rehabbed (rather paid someone to fix it) a built in BBQ/fire pit. And since I have... -
Fire box size
Ok I will try this. The inner dimensions are 32 W X 40 H (including arched area) X 32.5 Deep. The shelf area on the side where we were going to put the firebox is 27W X 28 D X 24H (to the flat area on the side of the pit). Based on the link sent on another response if I have calculated this...- bethm78

Fire box size
Hello all, I am Beth from El Paso and I am hoping someone here can shed some light on proper firebox size. Our back fence (brick and stucco) had a built in BBQ/fire pit that is lined with fire brick. We want to convert it into a smoker with a side firebox. Is there a ratio or some formula to...- bethm78
