    Thanks all for the welcomes! I spent most of the day today painting the skin for the shelves. I am scratching my head with a possible concern for pipe placement going into the pit. the pipe out of the fire box is about 6 inches higher then where it will be going into the bottom of the pit. will...

    Hello all, I am brand new to the art of smoking. I have helped a friend of mine several times, and decided that i would jump in head first into it. I am building a smoker that is a bit... different from some that i have seen. The smoker chamber is a 375 gallon fuel tank (yes, going to light it...
