sounds like i need to redo the basket handle and make one.

do you put it in contact with the top of the basket? or just above it? and noticed the holes ?

i was more curious about why the defuser plate i notice some people use one and some dont

well the area of the 11 inch opening is 92.93 inches and the area of the cercumfrance of the 11 inch opening and a plate 3 inches up is also 92.93 inches so i hopefully wont need to tune that fish. i am wondering about how close do i make the two plates

good idea except this trailer has coil springs. instead i am thinking about recessing the FB into the smoke chamber 3 inches below the RF plate with an 11 inch opening in the center top of the FB. thinking about addl plate between RF plate and FB

would like to take the credit but it was franks idea actually. still got a couple of glitches though once on the trailer its 6 ft tall and i'm only 5 7. working on the hight issue

actually my ideas are along the lines of horizontal split in the middle with two FB and CC center fed. still plenty of rack space but with versatility and abjustable RF plate

i noticed in Franks vidio, the defuser plate and that you have it marked for posision. interested in pros / cons and why the arrow ?

the gravity feed chute sounds like a good idea and i know i saw a build for it somewhere on this site. i will look for it. but first things first i am about to start my 275 oil tank http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/oldwrench53/downsize_zps98dda1e9.jpg free tank and trailer hear at the shop. ...

i did notice in frank's vidio he mixed lump and royal oak i will try that next time.

and the drum does seal well i caped it and shut the air off and within minuates it stopped any smoke leakage at all.

ok i got an unlined open head drum for free a couple of weeks ago and found detailed instructions on the build. http://www.thepickledpig.com/forums/general-bbq-grilling/832-our-uds-cooker-how-build-one-part-1-a.html so i accumulated the pieces and brought them in to work. well between cars my guys g...

ok im a newbee the english translation is ?????????

that was my thought a vertical cabinet. devide it about 16 inches from the bottom would make the fb the rite size by the calc. 4 feed hole with baffle plates.

when my boss asked me to get rid of our old damaged waste oil tank i thought of all that steel. http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/oldwrench53/1003121353_zpse4f9da15.jpg but look what i found inside http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/oldwrench53/1004121132_zps1fee7f18.jpg it is 30x31x62 ...

a question about fireboxes
i read of someone using firebrick in a firebox. is there an advantage? pros and cons ?

also an unrelated question. how do i figure the end gap of the RF plate. i will be making it adjustable but i dont want to start too small and have no adjustability

hi frank. bein thinking about youre idea of making a two in one. also was looking at some other posts about squared off doors and did a little rethinking. hears what i came up with http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q542/oldwrench53/2be72a98.png was thinking of cuting one end off and welding it on ...

thanks for the input.
haddnt thought of splitting it. would 2 FB be ness? or could i just use 2 openings with dampers in them with seperate controles.
also how do i tell how much of a gap on the BP ? is there a formular to tell? or woould an adjustable BP be better

awsome rig, thanks, but i was thinking more of laying the tank on its side and even about taking 18 inches out of the middle of it. my questions are more about the RF plate. should i run it out to the front and leave the gap on the sides? and how much of a gap. (thanks for the detail ablut the extra...

this is what i was thinking about (pardon the crappy drawing computers are like women rarly get them to do what you want)with a warming chamber on top of the FB
