Sorry I should have explained better. I have never smoked food above 300 degrees in a smoker.I know my status says rookie but I do have experience in fabrication and smoking lol. I was asking because of the modifications I plan on doing and how it would effect temperature range like min/max. I talke...

Yeah I’m not expecting exact temps just maybe ranges people have seen. Just wondering because of the modifications I’m planning. Not going to change firebox size if it can reach 400deg or higher easily.

I bought the plans for the mini. Does anyone know what temperature range I will get from this smoker min/max?

Was wondering if anyone knows what temperature range the mini has min/max, one that is built to spec from the plans?

Yeah it’s going to be a beast! Any suggestions on good casters, lol? I’m also going to space the firebox maybe an extra 1-1.5in away from the cooking chamber to keep to keep the heat transfer down to the inside cooking chamber (keeping more even temps). From what I’ve read on some threads, some guys...

I appreciate the input. I didn’t Go that far yet as to calculate pound per foot. I thought it would have been more. I guess that little bit of weight doesn’t mean much when I’m covering it all in 1/8in panels. Yeah they have various thickness ceramic insulation but I thought the guy said it can be c...

I’m going to build the mini gf. I’m going to use 1/8 steel for inside and outside paneling. I found ceramic fiber blankets that are 2in thick. I’m going to use 1/8 thick tube but was maybe going to use 1in square tubing instead of 1 1/2in to cut down in weight and since I can compress the ceramic in...

Oh I don’t want to build one that big. I m thinking something similar to a mini. I just need to learn more on the firebox and chute setup

Didn’t even think about the size. Lol thanks!

I am trying to decide on a gravity feed design. I’ve been seeing a lot on double pan but can’t seem to see the difference from a normal GF. Could someone explain? Then my second question is,could someone send a link on an old post or give demensionson for what is needed for the charcoal plate to chu...

Could someone explain the double pan? I haven’t been able to see any difference yet from the basic gravity feed smoker.
