Built my first all stainless Reverso flow

[hvactech08]

I am stopping by to show off my new smoker and get yalls input on my build. I have followed this forum for a while and gathered slot of research on reverse flow oddest smokers, as well as tips on smokin in general.

I went with stainless because I am a induatrial refrigeration service tech and deal with a lot of ammonia jobs. So naturally I can get ahold of scrap stainless for free.
I used feldmons smoker builder site to help spec out everything

Dimensions
Cook chamber 22"x33"
Firebox 16"d x 19" long
Rf opening 30sq in
Flue pipe 3"x 27"
Intake 3-2.25" holes

Thanks for yalls input

Well I have been workin on it for a year but overall hours probably close to 60. It's all tig welded and 3/16 wall pipe. Smoker it's self weighs 550lbs

Wow! That's not gonna blow over, now is it.
I like the reinforcing gussets in the CC door,what guage/thickness are FB & CC ?
Tig= time

 

[hvactech08]

Both of them are made from Schedule 10 stainless which is 3/16" thick.

I made the gusset so the lid would move its shape when I welded the 1/8"X1.5" over to make the lip for a seal

Nice build! Have you done your first smoke on it?

 

[hvactech08]

I haven't cooked yet, but last night I was breaking it in and running hot to help burn it out and start seasoning it. Hopefully in the couple of weekends I'll toss a shoulder on and try it out
