Hello everyone,
I am thinking of building my own smoker and in searching I found this site.
I am looking forward in reading and learning how to correctly build a smoker.
I would like to build one to smoke a whole pig approx. 100lb. with an offset firebox.
I will be searching the posts for ideas and information. All help is gladly appreciated.

Thanks,
Larry

Ask away. We will help you with whatever you need.

Are you thinking reverse flow? Mine is a 24inch dia by 48 inch long pipe. That means my usable main rack is about 23.5 inches wide by 40 inches long. Plenty big for me and what I do but I'm guessing a bit small for a piggie. I'm sure someone will throw you a size recommendation if you need it.

Welcome to the site.

Welcome to the crew. I would recommend something like "Mack" he would give you the room and still be sorta small. The extra space in the WC is great too. Search Mack and take a look

As a relative newbie here myself, I recommend reading as many threads on here as you can. And as RC says Mack is a good place to start: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4100

There is a lot of valuable info to be gleaned from these folks. They are willing to help. All you gotta do is ask.

Thanks to all.
but
Like I said I am new to the site. I have just now found my post and apologize for a late thank you for the replies.
I do plan to build a reverse flow.
The MACK smoker looks very nice.

I have searched for a 250 gallon propane tank but have had no success. However I do have an air tank which is approx. 5' long and 24" diameter with 3/16" wall thickness that I will probably use as the cooker and then make a firebox from plate material.
I haven't decided whether to build a warmer or not at this time.

It will probably be a slow build with my schedule but hopefully by next spring I will have it ready to go.

Thanks,
Larry

Check out the link in my sig. It'll have most everything you need to get started. If you get stuck just ask. Start a build thread when you can.
