i know its an old thread but wicked build brewmaster,im doing the identical build as yours,wondering if you know offhand the measurment of your throat opening from the bottom of your cc Thanks man! The firebox is installed ~ 1.25" below dead center/food grate level. It's about 7 1/4" to center so t...

Beautiful beast!! Where yah building? NS over here!

Looks good man! Those tires are awesome too!

Can't wait to see your design ThinBlue so I can try it on mine, as long as you don't mind? I need to change mine, it has VERY uneven temps accross the grate! Absolutely. Sharing is caring. I've learned a ton from Brewmaster and a number of other guys here. Wouldn't be right to withhold. Hey Brew ho...

Probably not the best idea to go baffle-less paired with the Workhorse-style throat, although it'll work either way. It's easy as anything to add one later on though, good luck with the old girl! You must be almost done the build? Actually it does. REALLY REALLY WELL. I'll get a video up soon showi...

That's great! I'm glad it all worked out for you. I too am going without a baffle. I think it's the way to go. Sent from my GM1917 using Tapatalk Thanks man! I'm all but certain this works best on the little sucka because of the tiny diameter, larger diameter will create a sort of dead spot beyond ...

Paintjob is all wrapped up and the thing works amazingly well, particularly WITHOUT the Franklin baffle in place! I mean it works great with it in place as well, but definitely better without it, I chalk this up to the tiny 14" diameter and the throat cut out of the top of the firebox allowing the h...

Looking good man!!

Hahahah! That's quite the cram in there on the lil sucka! Thanks for posting and good luck on your bigger build, I did that in reverse and built the bigger ones first this little one is for fun small cooks and fun it is

Working on vacation, and my brother's piece of junk outboard motor.

Well then! Here's hoping that vacation starts looking better real soon!

I like the stainless tanks in the last photo. What kinds of smokers are those... hahaah!

We've thought about adding a firebox to one of them many times!!

Thank you!

Nice job! Love the color. Now comes the fun part of cooking on it. That was quite the stack of firewood...I bet I use less than half that for an entire smoke session, lol. It looks like a soft-wood tho so my guess is it burns pretty fast. Putting in a grate of some kind to allow air under the fire ...

Nice job, Brewy!

Thanks Hoga!! This is a real lightweight compared to your builds. Whatcha working on these days?

That looks awsome! I wish I had your skills! How did your "Filled it with meatballs and chicken thighs rather than biscuits. It's still the "biscuit test" " turn out? It cooked more evenly than expected but still too early to tell, no crispy/burnt bits up closest to the baffle anyways! Food itself ...

Can confirm it works a treat! It's a fun one, it runs really stable and it's a cute little smoker! It's not quite finished yet but I'll keep at it to get the paint finished up and she's done. :beer: The door gasket was completed and started painting, we use Linseed Oil Paint.

Not gonna lie that baffle looks slick

Thanks Sandro!

Added a bead of high-temperature silicone gasket maker, first covered the opening with cellophane wrap with a little oil on it. Takes 2 to 3 days to fully cure through the oxygen-deprived unexposed areas.

Here's the throat cut-out and my portable Franklin-style baffle! Also did the angled grease-drain venturi port type thingy :-) :-) :beer: PXL_20220328_195225758.jpg PXL_20220403_165448415.jpg PXL_20220403_180752860.jpg PXL_20220403_180800955.jpg PXL_20220403_180737972.jpg PXL_20220403_165437928.jpg

Thanks guys!! I'll be cooking soon! Great job Brewmaster! I like the smaller size. Since finishing my first ever build, which was the firstime I have ever welded, all my kids are anting me to build them one. I think a smaller pit similar to yours would be ideal for my daughter. I do have a question....

Looks good man. Am I seeing the throat opening all the way at the bottom on this one too? Sent from my GM1917 using Tapatalk Thanks TB, I'll grab a pic of the throat opening soon, I left a 2" dam in the bottom and cut the rest out so the heat basically goes straight up with the bell end acting as a...

Thanks DT! They're definitely in short supply around here, and I know there's at least 10 more people like me out there looking for them so it's a matter of timing. A 60 gallon would have been sweet, it's actually a part of why the firebox is 240%, it'll be a breeze to cut this tank off and sit a 60...

After searching and failing to find a better tank we decided to bite the bullet and do a budget build centered around a 100 lb propane tank. Equates to about a 30 gallon, I put a monster (240% of calculator) 16x16x22' x 1/4" new steel firebox on, and a tiny 3.25" i.d. 304 stainless stack from some o...
