    24" backyard smoker build. Some questions...

    So, I knew it would have a hotspot near the FB, and it does. It cooks about 30-45 degrees hotter near the FB. Not too bad. I was planning on having tuning plates in there but now Im wanting to put a flat plate with holes in it instead. I guess you would call it a convection plate of sorts?  I...

    24" backyard smoker build. Some questions...

    Sorry for not updating on the progress. Been busy. The smoker has been completed and I have cooked on it a couple times. I am very happy with the way she cooks and holds temps with minimal effort. It will hold consistent temp for over an hour and then when it starts dropping I just throw a small...

    Thanks DaveOmak. Yes, I am aware of the tuning plates and I will have them in my pit. I'll make some once the pit is complete.

    24" backyard smoker build. Some questions...

    Thanks for all the nice comments. Got the doors on yesterday. I have a pretty good seal around the edges. Got the legs and wood rack tacked on as well. Probably wont get much done today 'cause its cold and raining outside and I need to catch up on other stuff anyways. Still hoping to have it...

    24" backyard smoker build. Some questions...

    Made a little bit of progress. Got the racks framed and installed. Still need to finish the top racks. Started making the legs and frame for the wood rack but ran out of time. Wouldn't you know it, I bought 20' of 2 x 2 angle for the legs and wood rack and ended up 2" short of angle on my last...

    24" backyard smoker build. Some questions...

    Finally got started. I screwed up the first one by trying to go with a single door CC. The pipe "sprung" open on me slightly when I made the door cutout which wouldnt allow for a good tight fit on the door. So, I set that one aside and went and got a new piece of pipe. This one is 3/8 wall...
