    Planning a new smoker build.

    I don't totally understand your plan - but I learned from my home built that a vertical pipe will drip condensation onto whatever is below.

    Brisket - Two Stage Cooking?

    I actually did a split smoke with a 6 pound brisket with charcoal and wood chunks. It went in for about 3 hours of smoke at 230, then was cooked for another 3 hours the next day with a short trip to the grill to make sure the internal temp was right. I have been experimenting with a big...

    Double Oven Conversion project:

    If I built another - I might try a 36 inch free standing range, and use the lower drawer as a firebox. This would probably create a better ration between firebox and smoke box. Gas ranges ave too many vents to be successfully converted, but I could be wrong.

    Double Oven Conversion project:

    OK - 4 years later - here is my experience with it: The smoker holds heat pretty well, you would expect that because of the insulation. The "sweet spot" temperature wise is a bit unstable - you can get it to hold about 230 for a long time, but it will easily jump to 375 if you are careless, or...

    Double Oven Conversion project:

    The Double Oven Smoker is now complete and functional.   The blast gates work well as vents.  There is one on each side of the firebox, and one at the base of the chimney. Each 4" hole drilled through the walls of the stove went through the inner enameled steel shell, fiberglass insulation...

    Double Oven Conversion project:

    So far - side draft holes are cut,  as is the chimney.  After considering using registers, I decided to use 2 4" holes side by side between the firebox and the smoker.  They will be adjusted with steel plates sittin on top of them.  The firebox is probably too big, so I am entertaining filling...

    Things I have learned:   My 70 year old half inch drill can get away when the on-lock jams as the hole saw catches.  Tools can cost more than parts.You can cut stovepipe with the right vintage snips.Self cleaning ovens are a bad idea.  (soot is collected in sealed steel boxes, and the fumes are...
