If you want to do hogs, I wouldn't go smaller than 60. You'll love the backsplash!

Any thoughts on going 24 x 60 elevated traditional with cabinet doors vs 24 x 60 elevated straight back with cabinet doors? I know that the traditional is 1/8" thicker than the straight back. Does it make that much of a difference?

The cheapest modification is length so unless you have a space problem I'd go 60. I probably will rarely need it but it's nice to know I have it. I can't disagree that straight back is more logical but I liked the look of the traditional so I went with traditional elevated cabinet. No regrets

Yes, Shirley's are a great build.
Yes, Shirley's are a very long delivery. Yes, Shirley's are very expensive. Yes, Shirley's have a great resale value. But, have you ever considered how long it takes to whittle a hopper full of those little pellet thingys?

This is my new traditional door 24 x 60 insulated trailer model: Those "eyes" at the top are my sausage rods The 3/4" door ain't no joke either, Happy Trails....

Yeah, I really like the look of traditional doors with a counterweight. Also, the 3/8" vs 1/4" seems like a plus.

Shirley Fab - Order Placed!
I am very excited. Yesterday I submitted my deposit and worked with Tyler to place an order. Build details below. I figured I would put my build money into smoker functionality, so I opted out of the SS shelf. I think it will be fun to make a custom cedar or butcher block shelf instead. Im still on the fence between switching to the 24x60 trailer model. The larger 60" cook chamber would allow for cooking a hog, but will I ever do that? The trailer would make it easier for pick up and transport, but do I plan on moving my cooker once I get it home? Also, I could always seperate get a tandem axel trailer which I could use for my tractor as well... So many variables!
24X42 Cabinet Patio Model Insulated Firebox Ash pan, firebox Warmer 28" tall 3rd shelf add, warmer Hip roof, warmer Charcoal grate, warmer Removable sausage hanger, warmer Both Dampers (firebox & cooking chamber) Baffle block, cooking chamber probe insert (2), 1 cooking chamber, 1 warmer |

Congrats! Don't overthink it. You have plenty of waiting time. I am a few months ahead of you and man i have changed at least 15 times already. The only thing i know for sure is that it will be black.

My new direct flow traditional 24x60. It has tuning plates and also has a 2 piece reverse flow plate that can be used when exhausting through the warmer. I can’t figure out how to resize the picture so I did it as a link. I finally figured a way to resize the pic. Last edited by Peter V; 08-04-2018 at 12:47 AM.. |
