    250 gal. reverse flow build started

    Ok, here it is. Almost finished except for a few pieces of metal trim and finish the paint job. Cooked baby backs last night for the first cook. It cooks way better than I could have imagined. Holds steady temp. for hours with very little fluctuation. Very efficient too. It only took 5 pieces of...

    250 gal. reverse flow build started

    Thanks Pineywoods! This is my first time welding a project this big and so far there have been no major snags. Here are some more pictures of the firebox mounted to the cooker. It is just tack welded on for now. Ran out of time to weld it on completely. I still have to put the metal lip around...

    Bubba Grills

    Bamafan, I saw the Bubba 250 on e-bay for $2600. They are selling the 250 and 500 on there. They have really good close up pictures on there also. Better than on their website.

    Here is what I have done on the firebox so far. I know I didn't put the square tubing in the same places everywhere but the end result is still the same and you won't know it when the top is on. It is 28x24x24 and double walled with fireproof insulation between the walls. The bottom of the...

    Scottprejean, I got it from Amerigas in N. Charleston. They have hundreds of them in their yard. A 250 gal. is $75 and a 120 gal. is $50. I will be posting new pictures soon. I am almost finished building the firebox and will be mounting it shortly.

    Thanks, I'm using a plasma cutter with a roller guide attached. Bought the plasma cutter off of ebay for $379 and I think thats the best $379 I have ever spent. I couldn't imagine using a cutoff wheel on that 1/4" steel.

    Thanks, I didn't have to purge it. It had been sitting so long with the valves out of it that there was nothing in it.

    firebox question

    I agree, should be plenty big enough. I'm making mine 28 x 24 x 24 for my 250 gal.

    250 gal. reverse flow build started

    Ok, I cut out the opening for the firebox and filled up the tank with charcoal and wood to try to burn out the residual oil from the propane. That has got to be one of the worst smells there is. This project is slow going but it will get there. Next will be to build the double wall firebox and...

    door gasket

    Instead of or in addition to, couldn't you use one of these clamps on each side of the door to hold down? You can get them from Harbor Freight for $4.99 each. This is what Meadow Creek uses on their smokers and I plan on using on mine. Just a thought.

    Ok, got the tank yesterday. Pictures are a little fuzzy due to using cell phone. Will take better pictures once I start cutting on it. The tank sat a long time with the valves out of it at the propane company's yard. The inside is pretty clean except for some rust flakes in the bottom. I pulled...

    250 Gal Smoker Project

    Looks great! What size axle did you use on the trailer? Also, are you just using the one smokestack or are you going to add another?
