Stumps/Superior Clone build.

chibi · 03-13-2009, 08:22 PM

Well I have finally started my clone build. Am taking pic along the way so here is the album if you would like to see it. Will update as I get any work done.

Any questions feel free to pm me.

I built a clone a few years back. One thing you need to do is rotate the firebox grate 90 deg. When you shut things down and the fire goes out it is really hard to remove the grate because the hunks of charcoal stick down thru the bars and hang up. If you rotate the grate, this wont be a problem.

Looking good keep after it.For the grate in my current build I had one cut out with 1" squares cut in it.

I really like the Superior stuff. The interior shots I have seen show an amazing level of craftsmanship.

I do like the clone builds, but am relegated to the mechanically declined forum.

I see that now. Will change it to go the other way.

looking good:) there is just something special about building your own and upgrading it along the way. It gives your food that flavor of pride :)

P.S> that's the good pride not the bad pride lol

I am planning on building an insulated clone. What will you insulate yours with. and where did you get the insulation?

ganso · 03-14-2009, 08:55 AM

When your building your clone are you looking at one or just going off what others have tried. After buying a stumps I could see that my clone drawings were WAY different than I thought for the chute and how it is attached to the cook chamber. Nice job so far on the build.

Have not gotten the insulation yet. Not sure what I will use.
when I figure it out I will let you know.

I will be at North Platte Honkytonk. Stop by and we can chat over some barley pops.

I have researched through the web on them. Have had some help from another website that specializes in clones. And kinda going by the seat of my pants. Combining 2 different smokers into one. Hope it works!

I used "rock wool " insulation in mine. I think it is rated as good to 1000 deg.

Got the outsides cut and test fit. Also got the insides welded in. Fire and ash box welded on. coming together well.

Hopefully the weather stays good for the weekend so I can get more done.

Lookin good Micheal. When we built our cookers, I couldnt wait to start a fire in it. Then we got them done and we were nervous. When are you planning on completion?
