CO2 is not better than argon, just a lot cheaper.
I agree with Diggerg.

I use C02 on my Hobart 140.
You can find a 20 lb C02 bottle cheap. They are the ones used on the fountain drink machines.
I will never go back to flux core.
Im a novice and only weld a little.

I just turned mine off. I've only used wood chips soaked. The only think I cook in it is a beef eye of round. I cook it like brisket, but when it hits 165 I pull it and put it in a beef broth onion cup a soup. Let it rest for a couple hours, then slice thin on a meat slicer. That is our version of r...

Painting with Rattle Can.
Dupli Color Engine Enamel from my local Oreilly's.
It's rated at 550 degress and is oil resistant.

I seasoned the pit yesterday.

Thanks guys.

http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i462/DunnSmoke/th_KIMG0777.jpg This is my first attempt at a UDS and I will not even get a chance to cook on it. This one is for our annual raffle at the Hammond BBQ Competition in March. I will get to cook on the 2nd one. This one is turning out so good, that I ...

I used to use screws, but swapped to 3\16 aluminum rivets. One of the best changes I've made.

My brothers and sisters got together for a little BBQ at my nephews Gym in Denham. http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i462/DunnSmoke/th_FD-16-2_1.jpg I cooked 8 Boston butts. http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i462/DunnSmoke/th_FD-16-1_1.jpg 4 Racks of Ribs 40 lbs of leg qtrs (No Picture) http://i...

Thanks for the feedback.
I have 4 pits in line b4 I get to this one. I will put more thought into it. Maybe just reducing the amount of framework would be some weight advantage.

Your pit looks awesome!
What are your thoughts on a frameless version?
This is another smoker I'm working on, but a friend of mine wants a stumps clone. I was thinking of building it frameless.

The thickest I use is 12 guage. It bent a 24" piece with no problem.

I got tired of not having a metal bender, so this is what I came up with: http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i462/DunnSmoke/th_Bending.jpg http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i462/DunnSmoke/th_Bender_Painted.jpg 1st project: Reverse flow Insulated Cabinet http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i462/Du...

DunnSmoke, you have any updates on how your PID is working for you on your smoker, holding temps etc. I am trying to get an idea to build one or put one together to use on a mini gravity fed smoker once the plans get out and I build it. Thanks I made one change. I went from a 4AH baatery to a 9AH b...

From infinity and beyond.

Never argue with a Moron, they'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

No, some from Ebay.

You did great! So for the hard question, what did it cost to make? If you don't mind my asking. I dont mind at all. A total of $106.17 - No extension chords, priceless. Below is a material list for anyone that is interested. I will have to draw out a schematic with the PID used. If another is used,...

That's cool, where did you source the case from? You use the Rasberry pi components? After looking it appears you didn't, who's PID did you use? From infinity and beyond.

Here is the PID I made for the Twins. I will test it completely next weekend. 12 volt ATV Battery, 1.5 watt 12 volt solar charger, 32 CFM fan and a threaded 8" therm o couple sensor, all with NO extension chords. I ran the fan non stop for 12 hours without the solar charger and still had 12.6 volts ...

Yes sir. First KCBS of the year.

The dance floor for the new trailer is complete.
