hello all, looking forward to learning to use this site and learning from what seams to be a knowledgeable group. hopefully one day could also give some worthy input.  I have built this smoker a coupla years ago  what style of smoker would you call it.  been mostly using it for bbq its real easy to keep it burning clean not  so much when trying to keep the temps in the cold smoke range. is there a forum dedicated to a style like this?

Welcome meatstalker! :welcome:
That's some nice flex on your CJ-5! Still rock'n the leaf springs too! Sorry, I get carried away.
Your smoker is very interesting. Nice build. Can't wait to see it in action!

  Welcome to the forum meatstalker! From the picks it looks like it is set up as a cold smoker. I would fire it up and see what temps you can get it to. It might do hot and cold smokes.

thanks So MS

would that be an offset smoker? high temps are no problem just build a bigger fire. actualy caught the old wood floor in the smoke chamber on fire. its concrete now.
