Now that is funny! that was an initial sketch i sent from my phone to my buddy explaining what i meant by center feed. It's actually pretty dang close to that sketch. the smoker sketch, not the pecker sketch!Clover Ridge Smokers wrote:Holy crap huntfishgrill, I just noticed you avatar. At first glance i thought it was a drawing of something else......
So, I have a question about the high temp powder coating. Maybe you know already, or might be worth asking your buddy. So, standard powder is cooked at a certain temp, let's say 400*f for discussions sake(no idea what the actual temp should be), what temp would it take to bake out the high temp stuff? This might limit who would have the equipment needed to do such a thing. Just a thought. Jayhuntfishgrill wrote:I'm in a holding pattern for a few weeks with busy-at-work syndrome. Interestingly enough my buddy at the powder coating place has started hollering at me about some silicone based high heat powder coating that he swears will hold up. He says his dad's smoker has it on it for a couple years now with only a few chips around the hinges. He's going to quote me once I get it over there. Hopefully I will get the poor man's discount and that coating will be bad to the bone!
Good man!huntfishgrill wrote:Yea i don't really know. I will find out more soon. I think it was 1200 degree stuff or so and is silicone based. the bake simply causes it to lock on and chemically change somehow, but i really don't know the technical details. even if i don't end up doing it i will definitely find out for the details for the home team's benefit!
No it isn't, we talked about it, but if it's on too unlevel ground I'll just throw a two-by under it or something. It's just so simple and clean, we thought that it would work and be plenty good enough the way it is. Believe me I talked about making a pinned adjustable slide-out, but it was overkill. which makes me laugh when i look at the rest of this beast I build to cook a chicken or butt. LOLSmokeone wrote:
Is your rear leg adjustable? Might be beneficial to make it adjustable. Just thinking out loud there, sorry.
Hahaha yeah me too! On the test fires it was smooth burning and very predictable so i have high hopes for it. She'll make the cut i think!bluecatfish wrote:
That is a clean looking design with all the rounded corners! Hope it cooks as good as it looks!
