Offset Smoker Build

[offset1945]

A few notes for you:

Earlier you asked about grill height.

REGARDLESS of SHAPE OR SIZE .... Your hole from FB to CC must take into account where you set your grill.

Many would want this opening never to exceed the top of your grill level.
A few including 'Jambo' actually want it to be somewhere above the grill level.

From all the Mill scale photos I've seen, they are in the opening to be at or below grill level camp.

If you recall, my vote for grill height was exactly at half of the CC chamber so your drawing / markups seem perfect.
I would put an arc following the radius of the FB on the top of your rectangle leaving about 1/2" or so along the top of the arch.

Great work!

Yeah, the grill height will be just above the firebox. I had a look at the Jambo smokers and a dozen others. There's so many options that are pretty confusing.

When you say put an arc across the top of the FB, do you mean just the width of the rectangle or bigger than what I've drawn out?

Any updates on the Mill Scale smoker?

And the door is cut. I used a CNC router to create my templates for the plasma cutter. Sometimes my cutting looks perfect, other times it looks pretty messy. Nothing a bit of welding and some grinding can't fix. I made up some simple hinges using a metal lathe (could've bought some tube steel but this didn't take too long) Next up will be to finish the intake vent, welded the hinges on fully and add some steel to the inside of the firebox to block up the door gaps.

Once that's done, it's onto welding the firebox to cook chamber and installing it on the frame.
