Today I came across an amazing deal on a trailer. http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h72/USMCCBR929RR/Smoker%20Build/IMG_5803_zpse146fa02.jpg Progress today was attaching the FB to the CC. COMPLETE! Also, welded in rails in the FB for the charcoal basket http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h72/USMCCBR9...

Thanks!

I am going to work on it some more this afternoon. I will post photos. Plan on finishing the FB and mounting to CC.

I've had that happen to me as well but there is a much finer adjustment of output on that thinner stuff than the heavier plate and finding it might take more time than you really wanna spend You made it look great I swapped sticks half way through. I was using 1/8 6013, then moved to 3/32. I was ab...

Not pretty, but it'll do!

Lots of great advice. Going to look around for shop and still keep my eye open for a used one.

Thanks. Do you have any photos of your setup?

I don't want to build a trailer for my 110ga RF, but would like to buy one and mount it.

I have found many PWC trailers, but I don't know if they will be strong enough. The 4x8 utility trailers don't look strong enough either. Do I need a 3500# GVWR or can I get away with 2000#?

Today's little project. Beginning of my coal basket. I was battling my stick welder with this all day, but it worked out after some grinding [THUMBS UP SIGN]

Firebox progress today

Much better burn today with the door off :beer: The paint peeled right off http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h72/USMCCBR929RR/Smoker%20Build/37D81321-184A-4DB8-B695-EE4265BDE87D_zpskxzgjnfw.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h72/USMCCBR929RR/Smoker%20Build/761A4BE0-968C-46AB-9787-984BD9613B53_zps...

Today I cut the tanks legs off, marked up the door, and cut it. Tomorrow I will burn it again :headwall: Maybe this time I will get all the paint off... http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h72/USMCCBR929RR/Smoker%20Build/4A2491C4-8A52-468B-8F13-2F9ACD226BC1_zps4et943bi.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/a...

When they are cutting good I try to get the most out of them!

Thanks Frank.

Can someone look over my math? CC volume = 25410 cu. in. actual FB volume = 8470 cu. in. recommended Chimney volume = .05 x 9680 = 484 cu. in. ( 4" ID stack X 38" tall above the CC ) FB to CC recommended opening = .008 X 9680 = 78 Sq. in. ( 12" r x 5.5" height ) RF plate area 78 X 1.5 = 116 sq. in. ...

Today's work: Cut 4 - 20" x 22" of 1/4in plate Tomorrow's work: Cut 2 - 22" x 22" of 1/4in plate for top and bottom FB plate, then mark up and cut door on tank. http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h72/USMCCBR929RR/Smoker%20Build/FBsidescut_zpsd056f16e.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h72/USMCCBR9...

Started the burn process today. I will need to cut the door out to get the most out of this burn. With only the FB to CC cut, the fire was getting choked out from no air intake vent. It looks like it only burnt one side of the tank. I started with a couple pallets. http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/...

Looks like you hit the jackpot on the tank and steel! If you don't mind my asking what are the dimensions of the tank? I am looking at a tank for a patio build that I think is about the same size. Looking forward to seeing how your build comes together for ideas. Catfish, I plan to have this comple...

I think your on the right path....maybe double check your numbers through this sites calculator.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Czar, Off of the Feldon's calculator this is what i got: CC: 25410 CI FB: 9680 CI 20x22x22 which is 114% recommended size Chimney: 4inx36in FB Air Inlet: 10inx3...

Hey Guys, I have been lurking on this site for quite some time now. I have learned a lot about RF smokers, and I finally took the plunge this weekend. I was able to get a 110 propane tank from CL for $75. Then I was able to grab some steel from the local scrap yard. My payload includes 2 4'x4' sheet...

Any updates with this build? I just picked up a 110 gallon tank myself.

Thanks for the hospitality. I hope to use the forums wealth of experience and knowledge in the near future!

I have been trolling the site for some time now. Unfortunately the first tank I got for my build was galvanized under the paint so I had to dump it. :headwall: I have been collecting scrap here and there to put together a patio setup. I will be looking at a 110ga and 150ga tomorrow. Looking forward ...
