New build completed…amost!

[Chad Peterson]

Hey folks first time poster here, just introducing myself & showing my new build! It’s a reverse flow…40 x 24. I followed Dave’s totorial for calculations on the build on everything but the FB door. I’m currently making a new door following his suggestions on 2 air inlets…upper & lower . It smokes really good with even temps across the bottom grate & about 25-30 warmer on the upper rack. I’m building a new door because my air inlet needs to be closed off all the way to run 225. As I crack it open the temps ramps up pretty quick.

Welcome to the pages Chad.

Really pretty work on the smoker.

Great looking shop you've got there.

What's the truck?

That is a beautiful bit of fabrication and welding. You are an excellent craftsman. Is it finished in Cerakote? I can’t wait to see some of your cooks.

The C10 crew cab is one rare puppy. Tell us more!

Nice work Chad. That exhaust and plenum are almost exactly like my TMG Pits Copperhead...

Thanks for the good words . I had out painter spray 3 coats of premium clear on it. He’s actually sprayed quite a few smokers & has had better luck with his premium clear vs a high temp clear believe it or not! The crew cab C10 is a crazy project, but coming together nicely . So much fab work on that one lol!
