    My new smoker build

    My buddy used one of those doors on his smoker and he has the same problem. Been trying to talk him into put more intake on his. I think you should do the same.

    Vertical Baffles

    Alot of you guys have reverse flow offsets with a vertical warming box/smoker/rib rack (whatever you want to call it). I've noticed some of these can be segregated for smaller cooks. As I look into my next build I'd like to incorporate something like this, but I haven't grasped my mind around...

    Elk ???

    Cooked at about 235* for 8.5 to 9hrs to internal of 155*. I would've taken it to 160* but it was going to be foiled for several hours and then reheated if necessary, so I opted for a lower temp. I placed a pan of apple juice underneath and sprayed it with apple juice every hour. I'd never done...

    Elk ???

    Cooked the elk on Saturday morning and I know if theres no pics it didn't happen so here they are. Turned out great. Cooked it to 155* internal, foiled, put it in a cooler. Boss appeared to be happy on monday.

    Elk ???

    My boss just returned from an elk hunting venture and asked if I'd put a 10# roast or so in the smoker with my cook this weekend. Well of course I agreed, but I got a few questions. I thought it might tend to dry out, but after reading some posts here it appears elk takes very well to smoking...

    Exhaust question

    I would think for that size pit your going to run into a lot of problems with 2" pipe for an exhaust. I know people with similar sized pit with two 4" exhaust who have a little trouble. When figurung out exhaust size you have to look at volume. In doing this two 2" exhausts doesn't add up to...

    Help with hinges...

    I bought ready to weld hinges from kck.com for my 250 gallon pit. They seem to work just fine. As for the expanded, you can buy it at Kroot right there in Columbus.

    Question on a build

    I think the pan is your preference. I've seen these plans before as I've just finished my own build. I've seen a smoker or two built in this same respect. Some have pans others don't. As for the performance with or without, I'm not sure as I've only seen them.

    BBQ Joints

    heading down to Ft. Benning, GA the first of July for my brothers graduation. I'm looking for some good places with great Q to stop on my way down and back up. Haven't decided on the route yet, but I'll either be taking 75 S to Atlanta or 65 S into Alabama, more likely 65. I figure theres...

    More than a Char-griller, less than a trailer??

    I hear some great things about Oklahoma Joe's, but not sure where to get them close to you. I'm sure they got a model in your price range and cooking area. I know Academy sells 'em, but like you said that is a ways away. Also heard southern style cookers were pretty good. Sell them in Tulsa...

    Il. Pit makers

    There is a place in Peoria called Peoria Custom Cookers. I don't know anyone who has one of there smokers, but they look to be pretty nice pits. You may take a look at their website. http://www.peoriacustomcookers.com/new/home.html

    New Cooker!

    Looks like a mighty fine pit you got there. Wouldn't mind seeing some more detailed pics of the reverse flow design inside? Can't wait to see it in action.

    SOOWEE!!! Calling All Q Fans

    Been smoking for about two years now, so I'm pretty new, but I've got a little experience under my belt. Been taking some weekend Q into work on Mondays. Always met with good reviews, got my boss so excited he went out started building his own smoker. To make a long story short, he's the one...
