Fanfarkingtastic! I wish I had skills like that.
A thought I just had - have you thought about putting some kind of grommet or other type entry point for probe wires? I have a little gap by the door hinge in my offset, and in my UDS & MUDS I put a grommet for temp probes - comes in handy sometimes.
I just had another thought. If you want to dress it up a little bit, I bet Marty Leach could make you a cool maple or walnut handle for the end of your firebox handle/latch. That way, it wouldn't be too hot to touch and it would look good.
Wow, that is consistent. I am digging this smoker!!! When did you say you are going to ship that other tank to me??? :becky:
All you need is some paint, and she'll be finished!
The shape of the tank is interesting, and I am wondering about the temps over the whole cook. In my smoker (longer and narrower), the temps are hotter closer to the firebox. However in your case, the temps are higher on the opposite side. I wonder if the shorter but wider pan facilitates convection rather than radiation... I would like to see your temp averages over a full cook, especially once the pan on the side of the firebox is heated for a while.
Another thing is that if I want more even temps, I raise the end opposite of the firebox (probably facilitating convection), but if I do want different temps (for simmering beans), I lower the same end. Maybe once you are up and running you could do some experementation.
Great job Ryan! Now comes the fun part... Grinding that sucker clean... Or did you say you were going to get it sandblasted?
Cheers
