This was a first for everything. Smoking/Cutting/Welding/Planning you name it.
It is the mini-reverse flow wood/charcoal smoker. I found it originally posted by SmokinSteve.
I got my idea for this one from YouTube videos, this forum, other forums, and from a buddy who has a similar design. It is nothing new. It was/is fun inexpensive and most important, I learned a ton. I learned my welding and cutting skills need help !! I learned that I should have measured. I learned a lot about heat, how steel bends, melts, and how messy Flux Cored welding wire is. I did not plan anything. It was all in my head. I improvised as I went, and used all scrap, except for the fire box which is 3/16" plate. I used my Hobart 125 EZ which I purchased in May of 2009 and kicked off my welding hobby. I also used my Dewalt Chop saw which followed the welder purchase, 4inch grinder, and my Hobart Med. duty Oxy/Ace torch kit I purchased in July 2009. It looks exactly like I planned in my head, except the plan I had in my head was beautiful,, Some of you may have heard of a UDS (upright drum smoker)...this is my URFS (ugly reverse flow smoker).
The smoking part was a blast. I wanted a inexpensive piece of meat.
So I did a fatty,,,I learned a lot about how this smoker reacts to my air vents opening and closing.
Enjoy the pics and video..
