Smoker build

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Well I figured I would try something diferent here. This is a post from a BBQ forum I got to but thought it might be neat to have it here as well since a smoker is a tool. Here is the write up I did and the beginnings.

Well I got 3 new projects the other day. One is a UDS build for a Bill (Pigdog on some forums) which lives a town over from me. He is letting me have free rain on the project, so I am hoping to do some cool things. For his project I went a head and ordered a new spray gun set so I can really put a nice paint job on it for him and for future projects. The second and third project will be 2 miny smokers. These are what I think are 10 gallon propane tanks. Probably big enough for a brisket and a couple fatties or 2 racks of ribs. I plan on selling one and keeping the other for when I just need a little space. Not sure if I want to make them reverse flow or not. Also not sure if I should do a insulated fire box on them as well I do have some 3/16 metal scrap around that I think I could get enough gathered up to make them…..decisions decisions decision 

Here are the pics of the beginnings I will do a picture every step and post them up.

	what I am hoping for is a smoker that you can do 1 or 2 things at once. So the small smokes that people like to do have a convenient smoker that doesn't take firing up a their big smoker and wasting all that fuel. The cook chamber is 1.3 cubic feet so it is not that big.The barrel measure 12"x20" so I am hoping for a grate that measures around 12x18 which equals about 216 sq inches...should be enough for 2 racks of ribs or a brisket. Then with the small fuel consumption it should be right handy. I think I have decided on a reverse flow style as well.

	Well got started on the smokers late but I got the door cut out and the fire box hole. Decided to burn it out now do to the smell…I hate that propane smell that’s embedded in the metal I figured I would through in some pics of what else I worked on today. It will be a HD clock after all is said and done. In the process right now of just fitting things up and will sand it down real smooth to get ready for pain. Next clock will be a pig I think..I think that is fitting..lol Thanks for lookin Here you can see the stem coming through
