I got tendonitis really bad 9yrs ago so I quit fabricating. So I am left with 2 rather large tables and no need for them.
As I am also a Brewer. I have decided to build a brew sculpture. (The orange end of the table is the brewing end. The other is going to be the smoker end.)
Enter the smoker. It is smaller compared to what I see some are constructing on here. However this is my first attempt. I have also made every mistake there is so far. Door is cut out no hinges yet. It is a hot water tank so the walls are thin. Got an idea though. I am building a RF smoker. The baffle plate will be mostly 2cm granite. I literately have 2 tons of scrape granite. I figure once it heats up it will hold the heat for several hours. I even have a 3 cm piece to try.
I hope you have as much fun here as I have.
This will be interesting, I've never heard of anyone useing that for a BP. I don't know how it will do with the temp changes or if it has deposits of minerals that could be harmful if cooked into the food. But I'm sure someone knows more about this than me.

Looks great and would look greater if the area yu have welded didnt have the white film around the weld..... the tank is coated of some sort and will not be food worthy due to toxics in the coating. I have a 4 ft round tank I want to do a pizza oven and had thought about granite, seems pretty cool, might be cool if you came away from the firebox a few inches so the intense portion oheat doesnt want to crack the granite.

OUTSTANDING! Granite will probably be the best BP on this website. I'm pretty sure it's completely inert so no worries on bad chemicals - unless it was "treated" by someone upstream before you got your hands on it… Please keep us posted - you should have a great cooker there.
Any thought of building the whole cooker out of granite as a backyard/patio model that you don't move around?

I guess that must be fluxcore weld, not use to seeing it. The welds have a film around them, my first thought was galvanized inner tank.......... I, m drunk again
Hey! DB is the same as the rest of us - he's doing the best he can with what he has to work with … and right now that happens to be a 12-pack…
