introduce myself

Post by cookoff10 » September 12th, 2014, 9:38 am

well lets see my name is mark, I am 50 something years old and have been hauling cars for the last 25 years. I like to smoke/grill. Rather than buying a smoker I decided to build my own So I bought a welder and taught myself to weld.
I purchased a lot of supplies at a local scrap yard for the build and built a smoker. It is really nice looking but it doesn't draw and get hot like it should. I should have read up on how a reverse flow smoker works but didn't and came up with my own design. I a close to 5K into the project now. and have a real good looking smoker primed and painted that needs modification. I found this web site looking for help.
