10-4, I plan on adding a custom drip pan that’ll sit on top of the plate with an air gap

Cute little bugger! Looks like a winner. You done good! I'm curious...what did you come up with for a BP? Is it removable like you wanted? Yes I ended up leaving it removable and it works really really well! The heat stays constant throughout the chamber and grease hasn’t been a problem. I’m able t...

Sorry for not getting back sooner with you guys! The cooking has been great! I made my personal best pork butt and it was phenomenal! Answering some of the questions and curiosities. So the name I still need to do and still looking for a fit. The white shop in the background is where all the fabrica...

Well here is my finished smoker build. I’ve been cooking in it for 2 1/2 weeks working in small changes, adding forgotten features and learning the chambers and operation. I have the cooking temperatures nailed down to consistency and know how long it takes to bring up to temps, adjust, and how to a...

Is that the “throat”? Or is that the gap between firebox and CC

I see, I like your idea. I’m going to make the RF plate so that it catches run-off. And by the way, can I be enlightened on how short I should make the plate from the far side of the chamber?

Even if I do a solid but removable RF plate? Not tuning plates

So I’m gathering to place a solid plate that is removable instead of tuning plates. I’ll start this way. It’ll be removable so I can still in the future make the plate tunable

Thanks for the heads up! I now understand the issues you mention with plates. Efficiency is definitely my goal! While we are discussing tuning plates, I’m curious to hear what everyone’s opinion is before I decide. Anyone cares to drop a few cents verses a solid plate? Just trying to view all option...

Yes!... I plan this smoker to have the capability of not having to use the firebox to cook in the main chamber. Instead, you could remove the tuning plates and used charcoal right in the main chamber with a rack! I thought I’d give this smoker another option.

I’ll be working on it today trying to get it wrapped up between today and tomorrow. According to the calculator provided here on the site everything is right at 100% proportioned. I want to cut out a name for this pit also so I’ll be pondering while I’m grabbing the remaining steel needed to complet...

Haha at first I was actually thinking the pit was too small! I upped the chamber length and tallness a few inches from my original drawings.

First, thanks for adding me! I’m new and learning what to do! Introduction? Well I’m a professional firefighter/EMT and enjoy my off-time working in my shop. I have lots of hobbies and a huge adrenaline junky if you will. I’ve just began my first smoker build and accumulated most of my plans from wa...
