Refactory clay insulated smoker.

[sir1will]

Hello everyone I am thinking about doing a pit style smoker build where I suspend an inner chamber in an outside chamber and fill the gap in between with Refactory clay and weld it up.I live in a cold climate and am wondering if anyone has any advice on this idea. Good, bad? Anything. I don't want to spend the considerable time and money to find out this is a bum idea.
Any help is greatly appreciated :)

I can't help you with your build question, but I'm sure there are guys on here who can!

Welcome to SMF!

Glad to have you with us!

Fill it with rock wool....   less thermal mass....

I would not use refractory just for the fact that it is so heavy, do you have kaowool available? Usually where there is refractory there is kaowool.
