Ok guys. Today I made a start on my smoker. I'm posting pics here partly to keep me motivated and chipping away at it but mostly to receive constructive criticisms as to my design and build. If any one sees me going about something that could be better let me know. I suppose it's also here for a laugh for you guys who have built heaps and watch this thread for a giggle.
Day one :
So today I had some time to cut the door and install the hinge. Bit worried about the gas so filled up with water and blew out with compressed air while I made the initial cuts.
I know the ratio for the fire box to smoke chamber is about a third of the size. My fire box is a bit under size but I think this will only mean I have to feed it a bit more often. I hope this is correct. Also I think my flue will be 100mm stainless . I came into possession of some 100mm pipe and a barrel Union in case I want to remove or turn it out of the wind. The plan at the moment is to finish the flue with a slight bend like a semi exhaust stack.
Ok this is where I sit back with my wild turkey and Coke and wish I'd put on my flame suit.
