Not sure what you mean by rotate the racks. All the racks are interchangable except for the lower rack which is what I place the water pan on.

I have 3 racks for food and the one for the water pan so 4 in all.

The one thing I notice on the Clones you all build is the "Heat transfer channel" I like that better. I used a tube like Stumps uses and ended it about mid chamber and use my water pan as a deflector. I like the channel version as it looks like it would distribute the heat more evenly. Thinking I wi...

Thanks Guys....

My hunch was correct...for once! HAHA!

I'll give it a look...

Here is a dumb question...haha. What exactly does "Double Pan' stand for?

Guessing it means you can fit two of some sort of pan in the smoker but it is just a guess. HAHA

Thanks,

Squiggle....What type of smoker are you building?

I will be doing another GF like the one in this treat but have a couple questions before I start. Probably start another thread.

Quick question what's the recovery time on your temp gauge after opening the door ? Sent from my SM-N900 using Tapatalk The recovery time for mine is very minimal. Just to open and mop or spritz I would say there is less than a minute. Last smoke I did I wrapped at 8 hours. Had the door open to pul...

Is the chute square? Have you had any problems with it, jamming etc? Yes the chute is 8 inches square. The only time I had an issue is when I tried some lump mesquite charcoal. It was way too big of pieces and I made sure to watch it because I was worried about it. The chunks we small logs 2.5 inch...

I was guessing mine is somewhere around 700 pounds or so. Just going by raw material weight.

I have used Kingsford with wood chunks and Lump with and without wood chunks. The feed back that I get is that the Royal Oak lump is much more flavorful without being too much. I do prefer to use the Lump for sure. I do however back load the lump with Kingsofrd as it does burn for longer. I do this ...

Looks damn good! I'm looking at building one similar myself but want to compare pricing to build from scratch vs starting with an oven or something for the cabinet. Do you have a rough idea on material costs? I would say I put about $1200 total in it as it sits. That includes the CyberQ. I did howe...

Thanks Guys... Time to do some research and design work!!

Has anyone built a "Reverse Flow Gravity Feed Smoker"?

Thoughts?

Gonna build another Stumps clone for a buddy like mine then am looking to build a horizontal smoker/grill.

Looking for some input before I self Destruct! HAHA!

Good job, good welding, it's obvious you've done this before Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Well I have always dabbled with welding but this is only my second smoker I've build. First gravity feed though. MY first was a simple verticle that used a burner to heat a hot plate that I would put w...

:LG: Nice build and very nice beads... something I aspire to sometime in the future... nice beads that is. Presumably the space under the door is where you put the pan to catch the grease etc? Or did I miss something? All round a very nice and well finished unit. Thanks ajfoxy!! Pertaining to the d...

Thanks everyone!

A few in action pics and of course of my dog trying to give me the guild trip...She knows what is about to go down!!

Couple more of the finished product!

Finally I painted her and added some handles!! Love the look of it!

I seasoned it and ran it a couple times before welding everything off and adding some handles. Everything ran great so no major changes were needed!

No pictures but I had to borrow the neighbors tractor to stand it up!

Haha!

For the door seals on all three doors I used 5/8" tadpole fiberglass seals and it is held in place with 1/8" by 1.5" aluminum strap. I used self tapping SS screws to hold it all in place.

Here is the door. It really came out great and the way I offset the hinges allows for 180 deg opening!

Then the insulation:

I used 1.5 inch 1200 deg. F mineral wool.

Then the skins...

I used 10 gauge plate for the siding. Probably a little overkill but I didn't want to have to use alot of bracing so I could fully insulate the cooking chamber.

Then came the frame work!
