Just bought all my materials. Quick question tho. Is a baffle plate needed? How do I go about it? How much room between baffle/tuning plates and food rack?

Sweet build. What you use for hinges?

For the rack rails I’m thinking of going with 1”x3/16” angle iron. Would that be strong enough to hold the racks loaded with meat?

I'm not trying to rain on the parade but it was my understanding the calculator is only for a reverse flow. Juanc mentioned offset which I interpreted as traditional offset. Maybe we should clarify.....or am I wrong and it doesn't matter? Yea, I’m going to building a traditional offset. I think Squ...

I know DT said 1/4” strap for the door but I have to say that 2”x1/4” is really hard to get rounded if the person doing it doesn’t have a set of rolls. I have used 1-1/2”x 1/8” flat bar. But the FB door could be framed with angle iron of 2 different sizes. And that works well. It comes down to pers...

So I plan on building an offset smoker using 20”x3/8 pipe. 42” chamber and 20” firebox. Squiggle already introduced me to the pit calculators at the top and that helped out tremendously. I just have a few more questions. What size door flange thickness for the chamber? Firebox? What size square tubi...

Ok, so I ran the numbers for you & to get the right FB size you’ll need the drop down to 17" long & that will put you at 106%. Next is your stack, at 4" diameter you should make it just under 22" long (that is measured from the to of the CC, not where the elbow comes out of the CC). Last of all, th...

Welcome aboard!! Sketch up a rough drawing and let us see what you have in mind. It’s just your average horizontal offset smoker with tuning plates. Plan on using 20”x3/8” pipe that’s 42”long for the chamber. Same pipe for the firebox thats gonna be 20” long. I’m trying to figure out how big the in...

Awesome build, plan on building one similar to it. What size flat bar did you end up using on the cooking chamber door flanges? Same size for the firebox? I was thinking of using 1.25”x 1/8” for the cooking chamber and 3/16” for the firebox. Looks to be plug welded. Last question is what size square...

New to the site. Plan on absorbing as much info as possible. Looking to build an offset smoker in a few weeks so any tips and help would be much appreciated. Thanks
