I made one for mine, and I am very pleased with it.

Thanks guys! I added my temp probe tubes to the smoker the other day; this is the last thing I had to add to it. These are pretty simple, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has found these. The tubes are made from light fixture pieces you can find at Lowes or any hardware store. Here's the packs ...

Last Tuesday I had to take my wife to her chiropractor, as she threw her back out the week before. Her appointment was early, so when I got her home and situated, I was able to fire up the smoker and make something I've been wanting to try for awhile now; I call 'em Thunda Thighs. I took some jalape...

MYNEZ is done, and wife gets her turkey! This is actually my second cook, but the first since she's been finished, so this is cook 1.1. Two chimneys to start with. It took awhile for her to get up to temp, but it's just going to take me using her to get her sweet spot figured out. http://i235.photob...

thanks guys!

Weldun, I bought another yesterday, lol!!!

Big T - thanks man! The turkey is in the brine as we speak!!

Guys, it has been 1 year and 5 months since I put the first pieces together. I changed jobs 5 times since then! I got laid off, my Dad passed, and a whole bunch of other things have happened along the way. But Thursday, I finally finished the smoker, and put it in its final spot. I took plywood and ...

Thanks guys!! Turkey had to be postponed, I just won't have time this weekend. I volunteered for something at church Sunday night and time didn't work out. Good thing though, it gave me time to concentrate on the remaining work that needs to be done. MAJOR STEP - Got the fold down table finished!!!!...

Just curious how this turned out? I tried the barrel lid thing on my DBS.........it absolutely sucked. Ended up making a fb door on the end.

I am very proud, especially now that I've got the most important part on. I introduce you guys to Mynez (pronounced my-nez). Dunno why, but dad never said 'mayonnaise'.......it was always 'mynez'. Must've been the Cajun in him or something. Anyway, it fits for me. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/...

Thanks man! Black is done!! One happy dude. Remember it is on jacks, so it is not this high actually. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee106/Bkndsdl/Smoker/082CCB5C-C327-4940-8B03-56DA867D4DCE_zpsxulqcrh6.jpg Started installing everything yesterday and today.

Thanks man.

I never saw the red coming, Roll Tide !! :LG: You know T, I never, ever even thought of the red making ppl think I'm an Alabama fan........lol.............honestly, it couldn't be any farther from that! I really couldn't care less about football, but my son is an avid fan, so I have become a fan as...

Final coat of red, used every bit of the quart of red paint to put two coats on this bad boy. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee106/Bkndsdl/Smoker/2E2BD307-54BB-4D50-AC2A-C93C8F89F1C3_zps1gcgxdeb.jpg http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee106/Bkndsdl/Smoker/F24D9B65-8AB9-4CAE-8B19-795154928B4A_zpst...

No rhyme or reason, just something I picked up years ago........it's stuck with me.

Thanks guys! Every time we would make something or have something that needed paint, my Dad would always say 'paint it red'......... I painted it red, Dad. First coat. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee106/Bkndsdl/Smoker/7CC9B8CD-7333-48F7-AA11-1448FD307706_zpssknuznau.jpg http://i235.photobucket...

lol.........well, it's actually already been cooked on............I did a test run to make sure it drew right just after thanksgiving.

Sweet! That is a beast dude! You're on the downhill slope to the finish, I bet you can almost smell the first cook! :kewl: :wsm: I'm getting excited for you, I know you gotta be excited. Thanks guys! I am stoked! Hopefully I will have it in paint this weekend, the weather is supposed to be clear so...

IT IS IN PRIMER!!!!! It was a CRAZY, comedy-of-errors weekend, but at 7:30 PM yesterday, I finished spraying the primer on the smoker! http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee106/Bkndsdl/Smoker/F632FC21-0727-4D94-ABF6-F318972F9C46_zpsxedt89hm.jpg http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee106/Bkndsdl/Smoker...

MAJOR STEP! I got the center section cut out! http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee106/Bkndsdl/Smoker/CEEDD2E6-11AC-48BE-BF67-CC67EA47F7B9_zpszua7oaqz.jpg Here are the boxes installed; these are the boxes filled with insulation. Here you see the boxes, and the base plate that holds them in. This is ...

Thanks guys! THIS IS THE WEEK!! Forecast looks good for this weekend, so I'm going to try to finish it! I ordered the compressor for this Friday. Let's hope everything goes as planned! I got the concrete poured so I can now turn the smoker; this way I will be able to have the smoker outside of the s...

Made some more progress, getting closer day by day! Paint came in last week, and I am stoked. I finally figured out (I hope) how to keep the vertical cool enough to control the temps enough to use it for smoking sausage and the like. First, I need to cut out a hole in the bottom of the vertical cham...

I see that we have different definitions of simple but I knew you wouldn't disappoint us this late in the game, lol. It's definitely a work of art with all that high tech engineering that's went into it. :kewl: Lol, thanks! I guess simple is in the eye of the B-uilder............ Hey, you gotta kee...

:LG: Thanks man! Gettin' close! I know man, it's been over a year since I bought the first load of steel. Can't wait to get it done! I really like the stack lid actuators! Thanks man, pretty proud of 'em myself. I can easily reach them from the front of the smoker, which is what I was going for. I ...

Got some work done!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, like maybe even in just a few weeks! Here's the fold down shelf. This took a while to get right, but it's working just fine now. Here's the up position: http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee106/Bkndsdl/Smoker/DEB99F80-848D-48AB-9AA8-...
