Building a Smoking Pit.
And the answer to most of my questions can be found here. Good read for sure about fireboxes and how to manipulate the heat/smoke. http://www.wedlinydomowe.com/smokehouse-firebox.htm- merchguy

Building a Smoking Pit.
Yeah, I have reviewed his plans. The only thing is that his is a vertical smoker where the one I am creating is more horizontal. I am not looking to cold smoke so I am still wanting the heat to get over to the meat, just not direct flame. I think the pipe option is a good option and since the...- merchguy

Building a Smoking Pit.
What I am thinking with pipes is that I can start them from where ever I want out of the firebox, and direct them to come out where ever I want in the meat box. So I guess I will have to figure out where the prime spot to place the pipes from the firebox, then I can direct it to come out along...- merchguy

Building a Smoking Pit.
The round holes or pipes sounds like a good idea. Just would want to know where the best place to put it. The meat rack will be around 2 foot off the ground, with the cover being at 3 and 1/3 foot. If I recall correctly the pit I am modeling this off of was open at the top some. I just...- merchguy

Building a Smoking Pit.
The walls will be made from 8x8x16 Cinder Blocks. Here is a sketch I did in excel. My question is, how high should my wall between the firebox and the meat box be? (yellow section) The Smoke stack will be going out on the left side of course. This is a build that is similar to a huge...- merchguy

Fatty worth seeing, q-view of course.
Wow, that is one great looking fatty. Guess it is off to the think tank to try and figure something out that can top this one. -

Ready for the contest
No Q-view? My mouth is watering and I have nothing to visualize. :( -
4 Whole chickens going on the Rotisserie to smoke on the 4th!
Didn't think about the skewer idea. Thanks for that one. Will try that next time. Now if I could only find a way to get a support in the middle to keep it from sagging to much. Guess there is no reason to do that because I will be getting a real smoker soon, and will just need to mod it. -
Prepping ribs for the 4th w/qview
Can't wait to see the q-view of this smoke, and then the family enjoying the feast. -
4 Whole chickens going on the Rotisserie to smoke on the 4th!
Well, They spun OK. I need to move the brackets up a bit so that when it sags it doesn't get as close to the grates (either that or take the grates out). I started off with all 4 on there but that was just too much weight. Ideally I would like to have 2 more claws and grip each bird on each... -
my July 4th nuts about butts cook
Oh how I miss boiled peanuts. I grew up in south GA in a town known as the peanut capital of the world. Great Q-view. -
4 Whole chickens going on the Rotisserie to smoke on the 4th!
Wow, this meal was great. We had the chickens with some cole slaw, and red potato salad. The chicken was really tasty and the skin was excellent. I was spraying with Apple Juice, Bourbon (Jack Daniel's is my best friend), and some butter. The fatty was excellent as usual. I will have to keep... -
4 Whole chickens going on the Rotisserie to smoke on the 4th!
Decided to not switch the ones out that are not on the rotisserie. They are just going to be done on the grill top getting smoked. I tossed the fatty on about 1 hour ago. And the chicken as about another 1.5 - 2 hours left. They are looking good. If you are wondering why I moved the smoke box...
