Dacolson the wings look Great! I was debating on using the smoker this week because it's so cold out. Now you convinced me I need to go out and smoke some meat! Thanks

Big T and Pete Mazz Thank you!

will do! thanks again for your help.

Dacolson and shearman I wanted to say thank you for helping me on my smoker build it turned out way better than my expectations! So thanks to you guys! It works absolutely awesome. Here is the updated pictures of the final build now I just need to figure out how to get the door lighter so it’s not s...

Cole thank you!

Thank you! Its been way to long since I have built or fabricated anything due to kids and work so it has been really fun. this forum has helped a lot.

Thank you! I already had the bottom part built at 4” inches and then you told me I need to make the throat taller so it doesn’t bottleneck so that’s what I came up with Lol and thank you very much for your help I really appreciate it!

Thank you here are some update picks the hard part of this build is almost done. Thanks again!

Quick question if I did the stack taller than 23" above the cook chamber would the draw be better? Thanks

Great thanks

Just want input before I cut and weld up smoke stack do my dimensions look good or should I change it hopefully you can read it went to the scrap yard today ended up with a 6 x 6 for the stack it’s 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inside diameter does that matter for the length? Thanks

thank you very much! I have to make a trip to the steel yard Monday to pick up the tubing hope they have used its way cheaper buying by the pound. happy new year! thanks again for the help

Dacolson I do not like the round smoke stack look I am going to switch to square would you mind giving your opinion on what size smoke stack i should go with please. not sure if i should go with 4 or 6 inch square. Thanks

Dacolson Thank you very much!

I am having issues with the smoke calculator, math was not my strong suit, lol anyway I think the calculator says my smoke stack needs to be 33" tall is that right? sorry I feel like an idiot, here are the dimensions. CC 60"x12" octagon I think its 180 gallons FB 27 long 20 tall 24 wide air inlet 10...

Decolson and shearman23 thank you for your replies never even thought of just tilting trailer for cleaning I was more worried about fat and juice run off when cooking. I think I am going with grate level smoke stack then, I think it would make the cook chamber have better heat distribution,

On my smoker I am building I am having decision issues on where to put the smokestack I like the fat stacks design but I’m not sure which place is best to put the smokestack May I please get some input. if you put the smokestack at grate level I believe the smoke would go across the meat better but ...

The trailer tongue is bolted on the bottom of the trailer underneath the frame so I’m just going to remove the old one and install a new one but longer. Thanks

The trailer says 2000# rating I will have to extend the tongue on it and you're right it barely fits hopefully the axle will handle it.

Welcome! I am from Michigan too.

I thought I’d give an update on my smoker build they are A little harder than I thought and taking way longer, but I am having fun doing it. Any advice or criticism is well appreciated. I’m a rookie
Thanks

Cool thank you!

I will try it. Thanks

Ok thanks I will skip that then. I am going to need help on what size stack and length and fire box opening to smoke chamber and what distance from grate to baffle should be. Thanks

thank you it is always fun working on projects like this, did you integrated a water pan in your smoker i was planning on putting one in it.
