WOW!!!! To each his own I never would make money if I welded and stopped and welded in stopped, heck if I can weld the full length of the baffle plate without a restart that is exactly what I am going to do. I weld my baffle plate solid, it is sealed welded and will hold water. If you work for me I ...

Very nice congrats

I am personally going to build a unit very similar to the one you are talking about. The simple solution to me is to put insulation between the 2 cookers. you will have insulation plus 2 ....1/4" plates separating the two!!!!! Works for me

Thanks everyone for the kind words I hope all of you are doing well!!!!! I

Earl is a bad unit Rick!!!!!!! Just saw this post!!!!! Bad is good Rick at least in Alabama!!!!!

No problem puff, people have been gracious to help me over the years!!!!!

We have been wide open and have several builds on the books now. We designed this build for a guy in florida it has a wagon wheel design. It moves with the push of 1 finger. http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s471/TuscaloosaQ/005-34.jpg The front end has sealed bearings and the shelf folds up. http...

Puff I sent you a pm.... forgot to say but for me 8" clearance on the firebox is more than enough clearance. I like a tight look!!!!!

Aluminium-not to sure that will work!!!!!

You should be fine I generally leave a tad more gap but your cook chamber does not get all that hot. Where you will run into problems is on a firebox

Cut you an elongated hole slip the pipe in it draw around it and cut it... Fits like a glove. Or do as Clover Ridge indicated!!!! Set up your dividers and draw a circle the diameter of the pipe, then drop down 3/16 off the center mark and draw another circle, do the same thing on the top side and th...

Puff Sorry I have not been around here, Just saw the thread I would go with a 3500# axel width is all about preference but I would think 4ft wide would suffice. generally it would be a 46 inch spring center. with the 3500# axel you would need 1750# springs all mine come as one unit already attached....

Yes you can weld stainless to carbon all day long. You can use tig, stick, or mig. The procedure calls for using 309 filler metal but it is not necessary you can use 308 or 316 does not matter. If using the mig process use a tri mix of helium, argon, and co2 it will weld great!!!!!! I would grind th...

Thanks ,HARRY BARKER, Clover Ridge Smokers, Rev.Mike Harry the hip roof is for looks and it gives you more room on the top shelf, you can remove the highest shelf and cook a couple of whole turkeys standing up. Clover Ridge I do not know if I can make gathering due to work I burned all my sick days ...

We just built this cooker for a guy in Georgia the cooker chamber is 3/8 thick pipe 24 OD 53 long and will easily hold 20 8# pound butts. He picked up yesterday and was blown away he loves it and sent pics this morning getting ready to watch the crimson Tide roll today and cooking for the fist time....

Check this thread Kam is the master at this style setup and is more than gracious to help anyone I get input from him all the time he is a master at cookers

I personally use 1x1x1/4" for my grate frames, then I use 1/1/4" x 3/16 for my rails this throws everything flush with one another. All of the previous comments are great for a grate. It is all about preference and I am anal!!!!
