Hi everyone. I was told that people here might like seeing this beauty. 4ft diameter barrel, 8ft long. 1/4" steel construction. 5 carousel trays with room for up to 2500lbs of meat. Was a project I designed and built for a friend a few years ago.

My gosh! Did your friend have a personal army?! That thing is awesome!

Where is the fire box and smoke stack?

 

[Sven Svensson]

Wow, that’s very impressive!

 

[JLeonard]

What a monster! Nice work, I like it. I’m guessing propane for heat?

Was intended to go inside a restaurant, with the firebox being located outside and piped into the 6" pipe underneath the smoker.

Wood fired. Idea was to have a separate fire box and pipe to the smoker using the 6" pipe underneath.

Has this cooker ever been used?

Unfortunately no. Covid came along before the smokehouse business could get up and running. The owner and I were lamenting that fact that he never got to fire it up. It's still sitting on the original skid it was delivered on.

That's a big smoker...

Very nice looking but I'm thinking you may need more than a 6" supply. Need to run it thru the pit calculator to make sure if you haven't already.

It's 4ft round by 8ft long. the 6" supply was the largest we wanted to go for ducting. We were aware it was goin to need some sort of fan assist for airflow. Since we were ducting hvac lines in and out of the returant for it already it wasn't going to be an issue. A fair bit of engineering went into the design.
