Absolutely. Ask away.This is great, and I'm going to do some detailed reviewing and may be asking a few questions. I tried setting my block pit up as an offset, but I couldn't get it to draw appropriately. I just burn a fire inside and put everything else on the other side, which has worked well in the past.
Wasting two pigs brings a tear to my eye.I knew a guy that was going to throw a big party, I told him we should build one of these to cook two pigs. Some other guy persuaded him to bury them with a bunch of coals, that was a waste of two pigs, he should've listened to me. Oh well!
There is a sideways block at ground level. I was just looking through my phone but don't see any pics that show the intake really well. I messed around with a brick in front of the intake to regulate intake but in the end it seems to burn best with the intake wide open.Curious, where is the vent at the firebox? How well does it hold temps? I didn't notice in your pictures. It looks really awesome, I would love to build one of these.
I did use a cap block.Did you use a solid 'cap' block to close up the outer wall where the chimney starts? If not, how did you close that hole?
