Is lookin for wood to cook with.
I might have under estimated the size of this project. It's going to be a fun one. It might take a while though.
After using a Chargriller for a while and fighting it for consistency, I've decided to build one. I've been searching this forum, Youtube, Aaron Franklin's book and videos and have come up with a bit of a plan.
It's based on the Yoder Witchita and a build I found on the forum. I picked up a couple of pieces of steel pipe today and am getting the final details ready. The chamber will be 1000mm in length, just under 510mm in diameter. Firebox is 500mm long by 510mm. The pipe is 6.8mm thick - just over a 1/4". It's heavy. I didn't realise how solid it will be. So far, I'm into it for $AU235. I'll need to buy some plate for the rest of it but I've got some steel for the legs/base.
I toyed with the idea of a reverse flow smoker but will probably go with a traditional offset with some tuning plates.
Any advice and ideas are welcome.
