You can use tile backer board from Home Depot for insulating to your wood frame. It's called Hardi-board or something like that. Ceramic composite, non-flammable. quarter inch thick. Easily cut to size.
if you couldnt make your little "clean out" door on your UDSv1 seal decent. how do you think you are going to get those monster doors on this to seal up enough to hold temp and smoke?
HOLY FARK MAN!!!!!
If you tell me that you just "whipped up" these sketches, I'm gonna scream!! The modeling pics look pretty awesome!
I'm even an AutoCAD guy, but holy CHIT batman!
Nice "rough sketches"!!
All-in-all, I guess I don't see the point of combining the smokers. It'll make it aweful heavy and less portable. I have a UDS and a couple of kettles and I'm glad they are all independent. I've loaded each up in the truck and sometimes a couple at a time to take to friend's/family's places or even camping (yeah, that's how I roll) and if they were tied together with a cabinet, that would've been hard to do. I have used 1, 2 or even 3 cookers at the same time and I just roll them all out to the driveway as I need them.
Look, I'm not trying to rain on your parade. I'm just throwing it out there.
Looking forward to final pics of whatever you do.
Thanks!
Whip them up? Hardly. Each one took at least a couple hrs. The model was probaby 5-6 hrs.
The point? ...just like building stuff. I think it's a viable design. Like I said- the capacity of a big cabinet smoker without the investment.
Just got a new job with much better pay. Might be able to build this thing sooner than I thought.
have you started this build yet? im looking at doing one very simalar
