Smoker dimensions and recommendations

[evansmeats]

Hello- I am new here and looking for some insight on my smoker! I have had this smoker as pull behind(my truck) but seeing that we rarely took it anywhere and it became an eye sore in the yard I have decided to remove the wheels and brick it into a permeant location. In my experience this smoker is very sensitive and requires a lot of attention when I use it which is fine but I have started to question the overall build of it. I placed a link below to the dimensions of the smoker to compacre the fire box to the cooking chamber. Do these work? is there something DRASTIC that should be done or something that I can simply modify in the way use it to smoke, ribs, butts, brisket, etc. Thanks!

Feldon's has some problems building a user friendly smoker...
May I suggest using our tutorial to build your smoker.... Many folks have found it superior to Feldon's...
