Another new guy to the board. Checking in and jumping right in with a question. First, I have been smoking and BBQ'ing for quite some time. My two favorites to make are BBQ chicken and smoked pork ribs. I have used just about every design out there from the old flat BBQ, Weber's, offset smokers, gas griills, etc. I currently do most of my cooking on either a standard Weber or a regular offset grill. I am a tinkerer and can build just about anything and fix just about anything. I recently acquired two chunks of 8x 12 x 1/2" box beam. Eack piece is six feet long. My brain tells me I can make a rib smoker out of these pieces. I don't have the experience to know how my initial design will work out. Having a small cook chamber may prove trouble. My thought is to have a cooking area in the horizontal area and the vertical. Venting and air flow regulation have not been factored in yet. Here is a badly drawn picture of my design to start with....Am I crazy to think this might work? Thanks for any replies in advance. I work afternoons and am headed off now so I will get back here when I can. TT
