To answer your question......... no flare ups cooking hogs.

Things I would do different My firepots are mostly external but I would make a removable side to them for cleaning without removing the grates or grease pan. I would make the doors with more overlap so they seal better I would make baffels in the middle so when running one burner your not losing hea...

I do use traeger pellets, usually apple for the first hour and then mesquite. I can get any pics you want to see. I use a heat diffuser about 2" above the firepot. I then have a full length of 16ga about 6" below the cooking grate that is just angled down to one end and a catch can under it. I would...

I built one that is 3'x6' octagon and run it mostly on 1 burner box. I can get around 300 on the side where the burner is running. I actually have two burners but only run both of them when cooking whole hogs. I usually never cook above 225 so only run one. I guess you would really need to decide wh...

guess the humor bar is pretty low around here

I just checked out the web page. I couldn't find a description of the rub, what kind of flavor profile would you describe it as?

As with all large chunks of meat, if at my house it's time to get "smoked".

I think you are talking about the thread I started with the picture of the auger flight. I just bought them with no center shaft so I wouldn't have to pay to ship all that weight. It will take a 3/4" piece of solid bar or pipe and it slides right in. It's easier to cut without the center shaft in al...

I used 2" pipe. It has quite a bit of room to move around but it has never failed to feed or get clogged up.

How much do you want? I can spare a bit....

So I guess since no one has had examples of the side box smoker failing to work I might have to give it a try.

Augers Unlimited, 6103801660. I called about 20 places before I found a place that would sell me a "little bit" and I have about 10 feet left after building my grill. I think that minimum order was 20 feet. I got 1.75 dia 2" pitch, 3/4 id out of A36 steel.

This is a picture of the auger flight I used

They are 1 rpm motors but the flight(auger pitch) is different than traeger and almost full auger tube dia as opposed to a lose screw in a traeger................ie forced fed

Smoker pics, you can see both fireboxes here, 4" square tube with the auger in one side, 45 deg burner plate inside with 25 or so 1/8" holes drilled in a grill pattern. 1" blackpipe air feed in the bottom. In another pic you can see the fan and both auger motors.

I'll go get some pics in a bit. I have about 50lbs of elk meat on the counter getting ground for burger and then fire up the smoker for salami next week....ummmm

The cooker I have now has the fire in the cook chamber and I don't think it gets even enough heat. I can however run a single burner in a 3'x6' chamber and it will get to 400 degrees. I am using a traeger controller but a bigger auger and a more forced style burn box. The last one I built used the f...

So this is a repeat of a first post that I believe was lost.....??? I built a pellet smoker that has two fireboxes in the cook chamber. It is 3'x6' and was built for smoking whole hogs. I now end up just firing up one firebox and using half of it to do ribs/shoulders/briskets ...... So it has no "ce...
