    14 gauge thick enough?

    Ok sounds easier to manage. A few more questions for the build, should the fb top hole be round or square or doesn't matter and how big of a hole, the fb is 18 inch square. And how big of a gap should I have at the ends of the baffle plate, I was thinking 2 inches on both sides. And last how big...

    14 gauge thick enough?

    Ok so I'm going with the 1/8 inch for the chamber. Should I do direct fb attachment to the bottom or drop it down 8-12 inches and run stove pipe insulated?

    14 gauge thick enough?

    Thank you all for your help, unfortunately I already built the fb so that will have to do for now but I will defiantly pay the extra and go thicker for the smoke chamber

    14 gauge thick enough?

    Price of the steel. I could probably go as thick as 12 gauge. Would there be a real difference in heat loss from the two? I tried making a 55 gallon drum smoker and it doesn't like to hold heat at all cause I thought I was getting an 18 but ended up with a 20 gauge barrel.

    Need help!!

    I was planing on a 24 deep 24 tall and 36 long. The top will be 12 inches and 45 degree down to the side for a door. I want to mount the firebox underneath but haven't decided if I want a flush mount or drop it down and run a stove pipe wrapped with insulation the fire box is 18 inch cube

    Bottom mounted build

    I'm looking to order the steel for my smoker build soon, Would 14 gauge work well or should i go straight for the 11 gauge?

    I plan on making a rectangle shaped with an angled top for the door. I'm thinking of going with steel between 11 and 14 gauge.

    Hey everyone, my name is kris and I live in sanford NC. I've just started getting into smoking last year and have tried a few meats. I used a cheapo char-broil smoker at first. after struggling with that I made my own out of a 55 gallon drum. That worked better. next I plan on making a bottom...

    Bottom mounted build

    Just looking on some advice for a bottom attached firebox smoker. I have an 18 inch square fire box I built from 11 gauge steel. I want to build a 22x22x36 rectangle smoke chamber with a simple 45 45 90 cut out for the door. Would it be best to direct attach or drop it down and run a 6-8 inch...
