Re: Idea for Charcoal Insulated Cabinet - Help please

I just got steel quotes from two places for this design. $616 for the steel. I also got another quote from a different place and it came in at $681 and that is all pieces cut too ($161 cutting charge). It’s expensive but less than I was going to guess. Insulation, castors, hinges, thermometers, weld...

Re: Idea for Charcoal Insulated Cabinet - Help please

You are correct. My WSM does real good on overnight cooks with a temp controller so I’m looking for something similar with more capacity and that is easier to use (cabinet door). So you think the mini gravity feed is the ticket? Material wise it should be about the same as this yes? Thanks.

Idea for Charcoal Insulated Cabinet - Help please

I’ve been learning so much from this forum. I’ve read so many threads and have taken a lot of notes. I’ve been cooking on Weber WSMs for years and have been wanting a Backwoods or Humphreys smoker for a while. I love the BBQ I can cook on my WSMs but I want more capacity and I’m tired of pulling gra...

Re: Has anyone built the 22”x18” Vertical Reverse Flow?

Keep in mind, a home built smoker will typically be built from thicker material and to better tolerances than a store-bought unit. Both of which relate to a better pit operation longevity. I would pretty much guarantee you can buy it cheaper if that is the only factor but It’s not always a simple p...

Re: Has anyone built the 22”x18” Vertical Reverse Flow?

Definitely price out your project. Steel is in tight supply right now due to a variety of reasons (increase demand, mill consolidation, COVID shutdowns, tariffs) and projections are for prices to remain high thru the first quarter. The mills are in no hurry to open new production so this inflation ...

Re: Has anyone built the 22”x18” Vertical Reverse Flow?

Thanks! It looks like the build cost of these insulated cabinet smokers is pretty high eh? What is the best bang for the buck, just a standard offset stick burner? As far as cost to make and cooking space? I really just want something big enough to cook maybe 2 briskets, 4 shoulders and 6 baby back ...

Has anyone built the 22”x18” Vertical Reverse Flow?

Hello! This is my first post here. I’ve been reading this website for a while and love all the awesome builds! I’m looking at possibly trying my hand at building a Backwoods or Humphreys style smoker and found the smokerplans.net for the 22 x 18 reverse flow single pan cooker. It looks like it would...
