Our first usable smoker

Post by Noa_James » October 22nd, 2012, 2:14 pm

The first smoker was not very good, so I don't count that one. This one I consider versioon 1.5 lol.Image
We tried doing something a little different and made the door a roll-top style. Probably would have worked better if everyone would not have just pulled it open, but you'll have that.
The current smoker is a reverse flow that we made out of a 250 gallon fuel oil drum. This is version 2.5 Image
here are a few pics during the build.
Image
Of course gotta burn the funk out.
Image
Instead of using a chain or belt drive, we geared it from motor to spit-rod. We ended up about 1.5 to 2 rpm.
Image
the fire-box without a door yet.

A propane assist using a burner from an old turkey fryer.
In the last 2 years it has seen a lot of brisket, baby-back ribs, and a few pigs, mmmmmmm.

If you are interested, I have another barrel waiting to be used. Be more than happy to put one together for you.
