    How much difference would 3/8th inch wall make vs 1/4th?

    Hi, I am looking at either getting a Workhorse 1975t or a Fatstack 120. Currently the two factors I am considering are the extra volume in the fatstack and the thicker wall in the Workhorse. I am wondering if anyone has any experience in cold weather with a 3/8th inch wall and a 1/4th inch...

    First Smoke

    Hey Everyone, I finally christened my smoker over Memorial Day weekend so I figured I'd share. Despite being nervous to test out my fire management skills on a VERY windy and hot day, I'd say it was an overall success! I was unable to source proper plate dino ribs, but found a 5.5 lb plate of...

    Stainless offset build

    Hey everyone, I'm just starting a Smoker build after coming across some 20" x 3/16" wall 316L stainless pipe at a friends shop. I'm roughly copying the franklin smoker design, with some tweaks to my liking. I know 3/16" is on the thin side for the pipe, but the thermal coefficient of stainless...

    Long Lasting Cover

    Hey y’all, long time lurker, first post. I’ve got a barrel smoker with an offset box and unsurprisingly the cover it came with when I bought it two years ago is now so brittle it tears every time I touch it. I’m in the mid-Atlantic where we get pretty cold winters (20s/30s) and sweltering...
