• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Couple quick questions.

First of all this is more of a statement than a question. I'm using old water heaters to build my cooker. They are coated on the inside with vitreous glass. (I googled it) I didn't think much about it until yesterday. I tried welding in a rack. I had to grind it off. Its tough stuff. I tried to burn it off with a rosebud on the torch. It melted but hardened right back up. I don't know what it will hurt. My fire will never be that hot.

Second. Where my horizontal tank is welded to the vertical. The cold smoker. How big a hole do I put in there? Do I cut it all out? half of it? Put in a damper? Right now its just 2 tanks welded together. Not shown in the pic but I do have doors cut out and racks going in. There is no fire box yet either.

As for the fire box I was told to over lap it a third. So that s what im going to do.

Do you have another vent then? I was just going to let all the smoke go through the vertical smoker and out the top.

I suppose with that door tho you can control the amount of heat going through.
 
this is what I got so far. smoker on one side and bbq grill on the other.
