[Jim_K]

How many here have built a pit?
I am looking for parts for a reverse smoker build right now and was wondering how many here have made there own and could post a few pics of there rig?

I have built 4, What do you mean by reverse flow?

Only one smoker worth building UDS!:biggrin:

I built my stick burner. One 55 gal drum laid over a second 55 gallon drum. The one on the bottom serves as the fire pit, heat rises through two 6" metal vents into the cooking area above. I really enjoy it. First stick burner I have ever cooked on. Puts out some great food! (or is it the chef?)

Also built a UDS out of an 85 gal drum. Good times!

Here is my first named “Franken Smoker” all wood stick burner:

Here is the second one; “Bride of Franken Smoker” that is a stick burner, charcoal/wood chunks, and coming soon propane assist with a log llighter:

The Petzford is basically a reverse flow. On a reverse the firebox and the smokestack are on the same end.

Jim I am in Fairfield, va just outside of Lexington in the Shannandoah Valley. Where are you located, I don't recognize the city.

Thanks for the pit compliments. It was not talent, it was actually the first thing that I have ever built using steel. I had a couple of friends helping also. The key to getting it the way I wanted to research, 100's of hours of looking at the internet and designing it on paper before we ever started.We built the trailer and all and then ordered the axle to the width of my design from Dextar. Start to finish once we started the beginning of October 07, I worked a minimum of 20 hours a week and finished it at the end of March 08. I plan this fall to go back and add a warming box over top of the firebox. More pic's of the build at http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e331/Ruben111/BBQ/

I think all of the pits look great, it is a fun project to undertake.
