I'm going to break it in with a pork butt, and some sausage this Sunday, I'll post pics
I've built smokers using a tig, and a few with migs, but this one I only had access to an old Lincoln tombstone buzz stick welder.
Good old buzz box! I’ve thought a few employees how to weld over the years and I always make them start with the old buzz box. A good mig is to easy I think.
First time trying this mini smoker build, does real consistent, and good keeping all blue smoke, she's hovering at around 235 degrees.
Thanks. This is my first time smoking meat down here in southwest Florida. I do most of my smoking in Arizona, but this year we are doing 6 mos in Arizona, 6 mos in Southwest Florida.
That's sweet. Take a look at some of my other builds if you can access my uploaded media. This is my first cook on this smoker after building it, each build seems to have their own quirks and character about the way they cook. My latest cooks quick, gets to temp fast, and pretty much stays between 200-250 and I've been feeding chunk wood about every 30-45 minutes. But it is a great blue smoke maker, haven't had any dirty or white smoke yet.
Those are pretty sweet little cookers thanks for sharing…..just be warned that you start off small……but the desire to go big gets hard to fight off…..
Hahaha, sweet builds. Yeah I started with big trailer builds and have slowly worked in reverse over the years to smaller builds. My first build was a 80 gallon tank deal, that I built like your meadow Creek style black smoker. Your copper smoker looks like it took a while to build.
