firebox

Hi All, I have an Old Country Wrangler and currently insulate the firebox with firebrick but I am wanting to increase the insulation (for temp stability reasons) with cartable refractory cement. Have any of you tried using cement or what other ways have you insulated your firebox?

I'm curious how easy/difficult it is to clean out the firebox after a cook. Any current or former owners of these RF cookers have any thoughts? I really like the looks of both the Johnsons and LSGs (with a square firebox). It strikes me that the square firebox would be immensely easier to...

Hi Folks, My first ever post on this forum. Lucky to be here among a multitude of people with years of experience. I am a pitmaster in Pakistan, i run a small take away joint by the name of black tie smokehouse. You guys can check it out on facebook. I recently started having smokers built as...

I have a 5 burner bullet inset unit that I need to build a kitchen around. If I build a frame out of metal studs, and build a box for it to sit in using fire bricks, will that serve as a sufficient firebox? I really don't want to pay $700 for a firejacket if I can build it.

I recently started cooking on a stretch 36 Lang reverse flow. I know in most regular offset smokers you turn the point of brisket and horn of pork shoulder toward the firebox to help protect the flat and money muscle from higher heat so the cook is more even. Due to the way the reverse flow...

I'm having a new trailer smoker built and I'm stuck on choosing a 1/2 inch all around square firebox or 1/4 inch (air gap) insulated square firebox. Putting a warmer on top with a damper in between to use for smaller cooks. The box would be a 24x24x24. Any suggestions or concerns you could throw...

First I want to thank this forum and it's subscribers for helping me build my UDS Smoker. I'm a fair handy man, and an avid BBQer participating in a couple backyard KCBS competitions each year. This was one of my more fun projects. As for the build I started with a $15 drum with the orange liner...

Alright I bought an OKJoe Longhorn Horizontal Smoker. It's just not in my budget for this year for the the $1000+ models....but ohhh maybe someday. So my concern is that the firebox sidedoor when closed still has a gap at the bottom in which hot ash could potentially fall out (as well as...

Hello fellas! I have been a member of the site for a time but this is my first post. I just bought a 275 gallon offset smoker off of craigslist. I was just wondering what techniques and/or suggestions you have on using the firebox. I have used grills of this size but not with the firebox...
