    New Built-in smoker build/design - Looking for some advice.

    I don't know about everyone else but I strictly use wood in my RF and you definitely have to tend to to it every hour to hour in a half but if all the star are aligned 2 hours. If you want an easy set it and forget it. Look at a pellet or vertical charcoal smoker. They are all automated.

    I thought about the extra drain at the bottom of the smoker too but it's just more work than necessary. What I do is Lift the front up on the smoker and let it drain out of the firebox.

    RF plate acts as even radiant heat and steam once the drippings hit the plate. Imo thats the advantage or rf vs. side. by adding water it will probably cool the chamber down and making it inefficient. There is only one real hot spot just in that corner

    I thought I had read something on KCBS that depot does or did honor the membership. But for now I go to BJ or Costco for my brisket 3.99 if you ask the butcher for a packer (untrimmed)

    I had the same issue with excessive heat until I installed a baffle similar to what Dave had posted earlier I would deffinatly not install the stack way in the chamber. I did that at first and had to cut it out , way too much smoke and follow the stack length closely. I had mine a little too...

    I agree with Dave the way you have it laid out on your picture you are wasting a lot of space with in your chamber. Here are a few pics of my opening but i used an old propane tank, that's why it's inserted into the chamber. Keep your opening low to conserve space for a second rack

    HI Berry I just starting looking at your build and hope you haven't cut it down to 60" yet. What I'm finding is that bigger is always better. The more people that know about your smoker the bigger your party gets. I think I've out grown mine already. Here is the website i used to calculate all...
