Frank asked me to post pics of my first smoker so I went dumpster diving from 2010 and here's some pics of Edna - she was my first love :x I've completely forgotten how to do a photo attachment using photo snatch or whatever that other site was. Boy a lot has changed over the past 400 years since I ...

I recently re-started watching the conversations on here so I just discovered this thread. Did this ever get resolved ctsmoke? I've done several of these.

I like the new 'cool down' feature - I think that makes it worth the swap out right there....

Very nice!

I think you've just described an Ugly drum Smoker. I think one of the reasons why a UDS works so well is because all the the 'lost' heat is lost into the meat - an a little through the skin of the drum. You can certainly do what you are describing but I'm afraid the pit will give you the feeling tha...

Nice job Pete!

I've only built the one char-griller conversion to propane and it made me nervous after it went out a couple times - I just know Frank has the info/parts available somewheres around here that will kill the propane feed if the pilot goes out.... I'm betting RC knows where it is.... it might be a stic...

That Pete - just a wizard with words .....

That is very impressive!
But when does it stop being a counterweight and start being an outrigger?

Direct out the top will work just fine

OUCH! And I was complaining about the -7F we're getting right now .....

I'm also working on the numbers for an old Traeger insulated conversion project for this winter so I'm not too far behind you right now ....

Very good looking work on all those rigs! :kewl: The problem I ran into with Gurus on an RF rig was that the Guru's algorithm that runs the feed back loop between the temp sensors and the activation of the fan seems to 'get lost' on an RF because the delay time was too long. In rigs such as the "Big...

You are going to have to watch this design like a hawk. I would recommend an automatic safety shut-off for the propane as a back up - or it might 'splode' if you don't notice a flameout.

I've heard of buying a quarter beef before but Sheeeesh!
This is gonna be very interesting!

I think this is the bunch of guys that has it all together ..... I just can't remember where I left it ....

I don't care what DC and I say about you David - I think you're alright....

David's back???
Well there goes the neighborhood .....

RC did the lower stack position create a noticeable increase in smoke flavor?

With the cost of ball valves being what it is - I think they would go back in the drawer for a GF mod or something and buy a couple of the sliding intake dampers from Frank - or similar. I'm thinking maybe a pair of 2" openings should do it purty close. Keep in mind that once you find the draft you ...

So does baby back pepperoni - if you don't mind eating around the bones.....

I re-read your original post and I think I approach this a little differently because you're absolutely correct. I only cook enough veggies for a single meal to be really fresh - then I put meat prepared this way in LAST - just in long enough to heat it up then serve it. I like throwing this meat in...

Love what you've done with the place! A lot has changed since I was there last....

Sounds like I need to start doing some research on the outing. Promised my dad I would take him spring turkey hunting at about the same time - we'll see ....

gosh ....
