The Captain certainly looks pretty cool, how does it cook? Where's the QView....

 

[fng]

cooks like a dream gets up to and maintains temp unbelievably.....i just figured out the wifes camera and will post some qview on my next smoke

 

[rbranstner]

Looks cool. I can't wait to the the Qview.

So how does it work?

 

[SmokinAl]

Yes how about a peek at the inside?

 

[rdknb]

Nice

!Me gusta el Capitan!

Did you build that that disaster? I doubt if it even works.. But please, prove me wrong and don't forget the q-view!

Looks like a good mod to do with all the char-broilers on craigslist.

Looks pretty cool,

It would make a nice water cooker

i have taen a pic of the inside and will try and upload tommorow. for those wanting the info basicly there are 3 tubes coming from the top of the fire box... on the inside the whole length of smoke chamber is a metal plate about 1 inch above where the tubes come into the chamber... with the 2 exhaust it pulls heat and smoke both to left and right and allows for pretty even temps.... with the plate covering the tubes from the firebox u have very little direct heat....and 1 good thing is we all know heat rises therefore it comes up and maintains temp real well.....wifes camera is dead or i would load pic of the inside now.... anymore questions let me know!!

 

[raptor700]

Sounds good,

we'll wait for you to charge the batteries

the dust u see there is where i was cleaning smoke box today and had very windy conditions and i was even covered in ash..... it just trapped more where i had extra oil from seasoning... as u see there is the plate that covers the tubes coming from box, and there is about a 1 inch gap from plate to tubes....

 

[raptor700]

Now I see......................................watcha gonna smoke on it tomorrow?

 

[tyotrain]

great looking smoker.. can't wait to see some Qview

 

[fng]

 side view to see size of fire box

 

[pit 4 brains]

Is that counterweight spring loaded or just a gravity weight?

I may do something of this design with my char-griller

 

[raptor700]

Looks light a gravity weight Pete,

I'm thinking the same thing for the Char-griller
