Reverse flow mini for camping and tailgating

[jcbigler]

Congrats. 

Can you fit a whole rack of ribs in that little smoker?

Oh, and no pics of the smoker in action?

2 full racks of baby backs! I was more into drinking beer than caring about the looks I only opened smoker to baste opens 3 times in 2.5 hours foiled for 1 hour and sauces for 20 min. Just short on time to make the ribs perfect!

Great job! That trophy had to make you feel like it was all worthwhile!

... was more into drinking beer than caring about the looks...

Now that's my kind of competition.

Congratulations!

Well done.

Finally got around to painting it still want to build another this summer. I competed in Wisconsin this past weekend in a kcbs style rib competition finished 15 out of 23 considering 8 teams from the jack Daniels invitational were there and the team that won the world food show rib catagory with a perfect score was also I'll take 15th all day. But to say it works is a understatement it holds 250 for 6 hours on charcoal I added a basket to it and it runs flawlessly with it. I just burn wood chunks with the charcoal adding 1-2 chunks every hour.

Awesome, this is why I joined this forum, I'm looking to build a small reverse flow smoker, its just me and wife, and I would like to be able to load it myself when I go camping and stuff. I may borrow your ideas.

 

[jbssmokedmeats]

Little heavy to load yourself but my wife helps me all the time move mine up and down deck. I need to modify the base and put wheels on it
