New Clone build started

It cooks better than I expected. I'm really looking forward to putting it through it's paces and getting it really dialed in.
 
That is one nice looking piece of cooking equipment you have constructed there. Nothing better than the feeling of cooking on something you designed and built from scratch. :thumb:
 
Yes the stumps design is a gravity feed. The top of the chute is sealed so that the coal doesnt burn all the wayup. There is a valve in the lower ash box door that lets air in and is used to control the heat. A transfer tube runs from just above the grate to into the cooking cahmber. You can see it along the bottom. It is a very efficient design. I am using about a pound of coal per hour at 250-260 degrees.

Gotcha! Makes sense now. Thanks for the info.
