got it!!!!! A couple of questions 1. I know you insulate between the spaces, does the tubing get hot where this is no insulation cause I am sure you do not poke insulation down in it. 2. ken in the pic at the top of the cooker where the heat comes into the cook chambe did you trim that out with angle or am I having a TQ mirage. 3. can you give some dimensions I am gonna build one soon. 4. is the water pan removeable

On my stumps clone the tubing area does get a little warmer but not enough you can't hold your hand on it.
The top area where the heat enters is not framed, just raw 16 ga.
The waterpan is removeable and will be made of stainless.
Send me your email TQ to kversluis67 at hotmail.com

So is there upward airflow from the firebox on the door side too or just the other 3 walls?

KenV · Post by **KenV** » March 25th, 2013, 8:55 am

Just both sides and back.

Gizmo · Post by **Gizmo** » March 26th, 2013, 7:44 am

Do you know if backwoods leaves their door side closed off from updraft too?

KenV · Post by **KenV** » March 26th, 2013, 8:48 am

Their doors are insulated and solid.

Really? Dude....we need to have a talk....the Red and White are affecting your brains to much....

KenV · Post by **KenV** » April 3rd, 2013, 7:47 am

No water jet, just a plasma table.

Finally getting to the point to finish these two up.
Picked up my firetruck diamond plate aluminum for the outside panels. Hopefully in the next week or so these two are ready for the test run.

A close up.

That is some perty diamond plate. The trick is keeping it that shiny, that is the not so fun part.
