Welcome aboard.

I wonder if the door would wrap as bad if you cut the door before you welded the seam? If you just tacked the seam and cut the door?

bluecatfish

You came to the right place. Welcome aboard! Looks like a great plan. As squiggle said run the numbers.

MP4 I have a 12" shadow plate above my BP and it helps a lot to balance out the tkempatures in the CC. Its 1" above the BP.

RC, whatever it turns out to be you have your work cut out for you! Whatever you make I know it will be good. Hope it don't turn out to be a galvanized tank!

bluecatfish

That's the way to do it. Looks really good.

bluecatfish

Just don't let it interfere with the vacation! First things first! Looking great!

bluecatfish

Now those are what I call diving boards! Looks great, you will enjoy it. I sure do my 2, one for the travel trailer and one for home.

bluecatfish

Sounds really interesting. As RC said "go for it". And welcome aboard.

My advice is to stick to the plans. In my experience the two inlets work better especially in windy conditions. Jm2cw.

Great looking Q and beans!

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought you were making a RF smoker. If so the stack on the current setup is on the wrong end?

bluecatfish

Welcome to the group. I see nothing wrong with the hy-brid stack mount. Someone smarter than me will have to answer your other questions.

bluecatfish

Ditto all of the above!

bluecatfish

Welcome to the fun and games! RC answered your question spot on with the two best reasons. It does make it easier to seal a slightly wrapped door, which it is very hard to get a perfect fitting door.

I must confess I smoked them in an electric smoker. I am camping in my trailer and my RF smoker is on a cart made out of a riding lawn mower.

Smoked trout is wonderful! I smoked 10 last week.

You don't have to tell me about the heat in Missouri, I am in Heber Springs, Arkansas, fishing in the Little Red River. It is hot and muggy.

bluecatfish

Looks really great! Always tweaking to be done!

bluecatfish

While you are at the scrapyard look for some scrap 1/4 " plate to make the firebox and see how much more expensive it is. I think you would be happier with a square FB.

bluecatfish

Man, them juices sizzling on the BP does make the Q good!

bluecatfish

If it goes back that far maybe you do need a stop for it.

bluecatfish

If it is balanced right you will not have any banging!

bluecatfish

Looks great!

bluecatfish

Thanks. May try some tomorrow while smoking some thick cut pork chops.
