    Name my smoker build.

    My smoker build needs a name. Help me name it. I am going to make a plate that will have its name on it when it’s done. How about throw out names and the one with the most likes will be the winner when I am done building it. It’s a big old beast. 103” in total length of firebox and cook chamber...

    Exhaust plenum design question.

    So does it matter how it’s made as far as size? If I have my research right. The bottom should be at bottom grate height and the top is at the top grate. Also the bottom should be 45 degree angle so it’s not a hard turn into exhaust. Do I have that right?. I like the wider design of #1 in my...

    Exhaust for my reverse flow build question.

    Let me know what u think about my FB door

    I am thinking about using this cast iron door off an old wood/coal stove. I set it up for a basic layout with cardboard to the CC for the smoker. I don’t think the size is to bad and I will be using my own air intake instead of the one on the door. If u want to follow my build here it is...
