Thanks, I have been working on my first build, and I know its not my design but I'm building it a little different. and it will be mounted on a 16' trailer. if anyone has ideas on how I should build the warming box I would appreciate any ideas.
Every time I've attempted a warming cabinet the challenge was to keep the warming cabinet cool enough. Just running your stack pipe through the warmer cabinet sounds like a good idea but put in 2 vents for fresh air - one low and one high so you can pull the cabinet temp back down…. imho

Thanks, Gizmo I was thinking of insulating it with high temp insulation. I didn't think of vents. mike Im new at this forum thing and as soon as I can figure out how to put pics on I will get some on and I appreciate any and all feed back good or bad. its only been a week and I'm totally addicted to building these thing. I have a line on a 300 gal round tank and thinking about building it for a hole Hog cooker for the back of the trailer.
I should add that I was heading for 140F as a target temp since it's usually the recommended legal minimum "hold" temp for meat while waiting to serve because I don't want it to cook any further when I put it in there.

I'll assume we have the the same 275 oil tank. You will find that unless it's a huge hog, the room inside this tank can do a whole hog. I doubled up on my racks and shortened my trailer to 8 foot from 12. There are some great thoughts here on how and why things go together a certain way. Personally, my only experience in smokers had been on TV from BBQ Pitmasters or food network.
Today I have a welder in my hand and a really nice smoker coming down the pike guided by some of the great members of this forum. Just search around for 275 oil tank. You'll see I have no shortage of questions or pictures of my build and trailer there might even be one of the dog!
Welcome from the east coast and good luck.
Make no mistake, there ain't no powder in this Puff ! And... I'm not really a crazy person but I play one in real life
Ok I have been trying to put pics on and I am doing everything the video says and when I tell it to submit it kicks me off the site and I loose every thing ? HELP!
Thanks, the video helped a lot. but I think its me I had to zip the pics to make them smaller, so im trying to figure out how to do this without zipping the file. but if you guys can see them I will finish putting the rest on and work on resizing them another way later. Thanks again.
