Fitting the doors.The left side still fit like a glove but the right side not so much.I had to shave off some to make it fit back in the hole.Im glad i have access to a hoist because these doors are heavy.
Yes i did quite a bit of planning.
Just finished the door to the Firebox.
Right now i am trying to figure out what to use for counter weights.I am going to build a box on the back side of the cook chamber as another smaller smoker or a warmer so i want to minimize anything swinging back there.I am toying with coil springs.
Those are magnetic trailer lights i use to move it around.i will be extending the side rails to install the new lights later on so at that they are behind the firebox.
you can get good ideas for counter weight design from looking at Gator Pit smokers and Pitts by Klose they both have nice ones. I am not saying to copy it but they are helpful to look at
Hard to say how that's gonna work out . I did mine above my firebox and just put a little slide vent for more heat and I get a little smoke. You may be able to put 2 or 3 small vents from your cook chamber but you will get smoke. I hope you work it out.
I decided to go with the additional firebox for my warmer /smoker.
I plan to have two stacks one to pull the heat through under the chamber and one to pull it reverse flow over the food.I will put in some flaps and damper to make it work.....i hope
Thanks
Just weighed the trailer because i was getting worrried about how much i had on my 3500lbs axle and it as it sits now it weighs 2780LBS.I still have about 300-500lbs worth of shelves and doors to put on so i guess i better start looking for a bigger trailer or another axle?
