hi..from Lincoln Land (illinois)

Post by midwestsmoker » May 21st, 2014, 12:38 pm

Starting design work and gathering material on a backyard reverse flow smoker.

Friends and I built an approximately 70" rotisserie (4 trays) smoker awhile back. Looking to do something on a smaller scale....

BBQ is just smoke and beers!
Usually more beers than smoke.

in regards to the pic of the rotisserie smoker.. I have a few more pics (not many) ... but if any one in here is with OSHA or any safety/insurance organization.... well .. the chain guard is in place, the electrical connection has been grounded and secured, the grate in front has been permanently attached with the appropriate railing, and the tire fenders have been installed.

no animals or children were harmed in the building, testing or movement of this smoker.
