Finally finishing the smoker!

Muscrat · Jan 7, 2013

Well I finally got back from working hurricane sandy in New York and have started back on the cooker. I worked on it the last 2 days and Tuesday its headed off to the powder coater. The box and chamber will be ceramic coated and the trailer and boxes will be powder coated. I couldn't stand it I had to build a fire in it tonight. The insulated box is the bomb diggity!!
After 3 hrs the outside of the box finally was around 135°.
Will post pics in a few of the fire.

With this much fire it was cruising at 255°.

But I'm sure it wouldn't last long.

Thanks. I've been working on it since June on and off.
Next to come is a back hard model. Same cooker design just smaller. AND it will have an insulated box also.

Sorry it took me so long to respond.
I hope so, it's all new except the tires. I'm pretty excited about it. The coater said he was gonna try and have it done friday. I ordered a tel-tru thermo that glows in the dark and the stuff for the keg today. So this saturday if I get it back we gonna cook everything in it possible. There is a cook off here on superbowl weekend and we want to give it a test drive.

As soon as I get it home I'll post some pics.

yes, fire managment make life easier..brings consumption down and on a hot day the fire box that is insulated will not super heat the surrounding area..how many times were you in a grassy area and everything around was burned up and also you could not stand near it..

Looks good, Sir! Looks like something I'd like to build-just a BIT smaller scale!
