Centre feed reverse flow build (for Metric meat only)

Looks like the Q did just fine.

As for the stick burning, split wood lights quicker than round stuff, also less bark is cleaner. The way you are going with adding mesh should help, I've found that the more I can cause my coals to pile up the better the new wood burs too. I try to cause my fire basket to force the coals into a pile however I can, not allowing them to get flattened out.

Today was a big,momentous day. I finished off the chassis, which looks like a go jack for a 747. I have dry fitted the parts together to see what it will look like, and it is glorious.

That is slick looking, especially the 747 jack chassis!

In light of my recent stuck burning experience, I have decided to make the air intakes bigger than required. I can ways shutter them down.

I got a local metal shop to bend me some steel into the shutter rails.

It's got a big frame on it now to support the cooking chamber :-D it's designed To come apart for transport, the wheel base, the firebox, the top frame and the cc. Still not cut the throat opening....

every step gets you closer.

Keep up the good work!

Been busy, but I got the top frame mounted to the firebox. I am using turn buckles to hold the plate down, so it can slip and slide to compensate for heat expansion. Next I need to solidly join the firebox to the wheels.

Had a good day today. Finished the base and put the cooking chamber on for the first time. Also put it in the truck to see how it will fit. Here's a video of the slide off loading style http://youtu.be/CSLhka84-kA

The sharp ones among you will notice there is still no throat!!

We have a throat opening!!! It reminds me of the time they were drilling the channel tunnel and the French and English teams met in the middle and shook hands through the hole. This is like that.

Hi everyone,

Been in Vegas on business for a few weeks, home now so back on the smoker build.
I have reached a very important crossroads, this is a big decision. I need your wisdom.

What's cooler, stacks pointing out or stacks pointing back?!

Post by **Big T** » April 26th, 2014, 10:08 pm

My vote is to the back.

To the back, to me looks better
