vertical smoker

Hello! First post here. I've been restoring a New Braunfels Bandera smoker and finally finished! I give you the Frankensmoker! https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmdnVQNGniCqgW6-pWKXGpJ9Xhkp https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmdnVQNGniCqgXL8lErHg8XpeB-E I picked this thing up for $100 and it needed a lot of work. There...

Hey everyone, I have a Lone Star Grillz 20x36 offset and I have been very pleased with the results I get with that pit; however, I was contemplating on getting a larger traditional offset that also has a warming directly over the firebox rather than on the smoke stack side. I have seen several...

I've been cooking on a UDS for years, and I don't get many complaints, so either people are scared of me or the food is passable. I've been planning on building a reverse flow offset pit out of a large propane tank for a while, and as an experiment, borrowed a friend's for a large cook I did a...

Folks, I am relatively new to smoking meat and doing a lot of learning. That being said, I like both of these charcoal smokers, but would love to have the insight of others who know a lot more and likely would consider things I'm not thinking about. I love the space of the Dyna-Glo, but the...

Good day fellow smokers... I have plans to build a vertical Vault/ Cabinet style smoker, with a Insulated firebox... What will be a good inside wall thickness for the firebox? Thanks in advance.

I’m a BBQ novice and I was creating a list of entry level smokers for a cousin who was considering getting into the life (aka the addiction). In the under $300 category, I let him in on some of the obvious choices including the WSM 18.5”, the Akorn Kamdo, potentially building a UDS. Then I...

OK so a little over a year ago I picked up a 60 gallon air compressor tank with the intention of making a new smoker after my Modified COS crapped out on me (rusted literally to pieces). This tank is 48"x20" and heavy as crap! This is not a new tank, its probably 40-50 years old and the walls...

I'm upgrading my ECB and I'd appreciate some advice on a vertical gas smoker vs a pellet smoker. The two models I'm considering are the Camp Chef PG24 pellet smoker and the Smoke Hollow 44-Inch Vertical LP Gas Smoker. My initial reaction is to be partial to the vertical gas smoker because it...

Here are a few pictures of where we are on this project. Here on Guam we don't have the luxury nor funds to pickup one of these awesome smokers that I see here all of the time. We usually have to improvise and or build for ourselves. Tell me what you think.

Hi fellow brethren, I'm kinda green here and would really appreciate some good advice/ideas on a build I'd like to attempt. I've only been a smokin' for about a year now, but I'd really like to build a new one. I started my smoking skills on a Masterbuilt Pro duel fuel. It's a vertical smoker...

Whats up guys, check out my UDS Frankenstein. I'm calling it an Offset Vertical Drum Smoker, but if you google that you'll find zero results. Since I couldn't find another one, that made me REALLY want to build one. My 8 year old son Owen and I have been designing/building it for about 3 months...

Hello everyone, this is my first thread so bare with me! I am new to smoking but a veteran in DIY so naturally I have never bought a meat smoker, but I have built two! My first one was just a webber grill that I welded on top of a steel 5 gallon bucket where I made my fire and it worked ok but...

This is my latest project, a vertical smoker with offset firebox. I have perused alot of different threads on various web sites and am trying to incorperate all that I have learned. The basic dimensions are shown in the picture, and I have tweeked them some based on the BBQ Pit Builder...
