Hey guys
Been a while since I have checked on this thread and thought i would chime in again. I am still collecting pieces to this smoker and still plan on adding a propane assist to it.
I think a lot of the info people have put on here are good but let me add some more info and maybe a...
I am not sure if I am going to go with as big of a warmer as you did but then again its always better to have more than less in those cases.
If you dont mind Im going to throw some hypotheticals at you and see what you think. I would like to be able to have a live smoking fire down the road but...

Just wanted to say Ty for documenting this very cool build. I have been away from here for some time and I come back and I am seeing people building some 500 gal stuff so I am very excited. I think your design is very well thought out. If you dont mind can you tell me how you came to some...

I am liking the ideas. Its given me food for thought for sure. I am a little torn on the internal piper burner but you can try it one was and see how it works. I think the add or removal wont take a lot of effort with the right tools to weld and cut.
Any thoughts on how big of a pipe to...
I would not put one in the cooking chamger as it would not do any good to use as a wood starter but if your piped for gas you can start with a weed burner. I cant help but think the ash and heaps of red hot coals would have to affect the piper burner to some degree over time? I know clogging is...
It would keep temps constant but has more uses than just that. My biggest issue is if it is covered in coals and ashes that if I am going to have any problems with that
I have thought about a burner as well but when that is sitting in a hot pile of coals I dont see that working out very well. Only thing I can think of that will work is a pipe burner. Like this...
Copout.
I am planning on doing the same thing and my search has been very long to find the right thing. I currently use a weedburner to get the wood started. It works out fine and I will continue until I get my next build done. I am wanting to do a RF 500 gallon unit.
What I want mine to do...
First off this forum rocks. I have learned tons from it. My older smoker projects were just built with little to no science applied so after reading on here (mostly about 250 gal) im going to use engineering to my advantage.
Questions:
1) How much operationing temp (heat up, maintain, and...
Well I guess I will throw my hat in here.
Living here in TX I saw Jonny Trigg in the doughnut shop in Alvarado TX, Other than that I have not seen or heard anything about his BQQ.
I do know of Ricks in Mckinney TX which is very good restaurant but to see the young kid take a swipe at bqq...
Being a chile head there are answers to your delima.
Just find someone who sells pure capsaicin. VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS.
THIS CAN KILL YOU.... THIS IS NO JOKE.
Lots of people use those to adjust the "pepper" or "hot" in marinades or stews or chilies. They get the spice or flavor...

This is the place I get most if not all of my cooking spices and rubs from. They are a little expensive but very well worth it.
If your in the Dallas/FT Worth area they have a big warehouse (pick up on there) and a retail outlet in FTW.
Any questions or comments. Let...
Thanks for the well wishes. I appreciate it. Seems like the thing to do on a snowy christmas eve.
I would not consider myself a master fab guy by any stretch but I can tell those who are taking on projects (no matter how big or small) ... take your time. Measure 3 times and think about them...
