Now have 3 propane tanks and mounts Shelterwerks UFO-1 Cooking Disc on board for cooking options Thermometer in door and multiple probes in small ammo box Spare tire mounted Battery box and lights for each side of trailer Swin...

:yth: We LOVE looking at pics. If you could post some pics showing more detail on the exhaust cap, I would not be bored when I look at them. Hi Temurf There is not anything special regarding the exhaust cap. I used a 3/8 thick plate for the actual cover plate and then welded the acetylene cap on to...

Well the T Rex Smoker Trailer build was unbalanced and I wanted more cooking capacity for events so I made the following changes: Relocated the toolbox Purchased 8 burner event gill and remove the base and fabricated a custom configured and special height base and closed in ends with dimple die alum...

Great concept and creativity. Finish strong and enjoy. Looks great

Sorry to bore you guys with pics but there is always a chance a problem area will be noted. Touched up paint and anchored down tool box, cargo rack, added tray loops and some other tie downs on trailer. Also found a cool fire truck fitting I had to use for the 2 inch clean out under the BP

Thanks BT and RC. I am buttoning it up although I am still waiting for the thermometer. Added a small wood bin underneath and added a 2" pipe fitting in to the bottom of the tank to aid in cleanout of the area below BP. Fabbed a L-shaped aluminum counter with cupholder for setting trays etc. Fabrica...

Fabbed an upper and lower tray and used somem stainless steel reverse cutouts from some past jobs for the grates. Adds a custom touch and the stainless should avoid the rust of expanded metal.

Thanks Gentlemen - It seemed to get small when I put the tray racks in! Can someone confirm if 6.5 in lower and 5 in clearance will be usable from your experience? I have no experience with actually using one. Finished majority of the welding and mounted it on the trailer. Going to do some clean up ...

Roger that on the drain! Should have gone big! Accomplished the following: Added counterweight to door Fabbed firebox, ashtray, sliding damper and tapered wood burning bin Started welding joints Also fabbed exhaust cap and mechanism Going to hinge the door down so it doubles as a catch tray for hot ...

I had most of the materials and calcs ready to go and today opened up so I went for it. Cut the cabinet out of longer piece of 23inch pipe with .375 wall to 40 in long. Did the following: Cut in door and added hinges Using a pipe wrench for a stop and going to add a counterweight Used an old combo w...

Excellent - so my FB Intake area is 18 sq in and count of .18 intakes which I presume can be interpreted as 1? I found the throat shape calculator and I think one of my only other question is does position of the BP below the centerline have much effect? Is 3-4 inch below CLine and door opening work...

Thanks and from what I have observed you are one of the pillars of this community!

I have seen a reference to locate the baffle plate approx. 1 inch below the centerline of cylinder but is this correct or how low can I place it? My pipe is 23 inch inside diameter and the throat cutout will be 4 inch high so is there any volume consideration under the BP? I am also planning to use ...

I am in need of some help with definition clarity for a set of calcs that I have generated. 1. Is the firebox intake square the size of the door? 2. FB Intake area definition? 3. What is the count of intakes? 4. If I cut a throat with straight line on top and radius on bottom can someone give me a d...

I have always been a bbq guy who loved smoked meats when I could get my hands on them. I am a fabricator and recently came across some 23 inch pipe and decided to go ahead and make a couple of heavy duty smokers as I have a friend who wants one also. I ran some numbers in the calculator but need som...
