ITS ALIVE!! Chain Smoker first cook

[Hillbilly BBQ]

Well after a long week, and an extremely long night (2am), I am happy to say she is smoking away :mrgreen::mrgreen:

Dumped a 14# bag of Stubbs into the basket...with tons of room! I am building racks this morning, but needed to get this thing lit.

Going to cook 3 fatties and 2 rack of ribs today on it. Ill update along the way with how it cooks, but after she heated up a little the exhaust is drawing nicely.

I still have some things left on the list to do, but wanted to see how she runs before finishing the entire thing off. Still have another days work on this thing.

1 Regular
1 Hot

Wow Shane, you don't play around! I have a coupla smoker projects that are collecting dust; I don't know if yours went anywhere besides from the bed of your truck to the fab table!

 

[HunkyDory]

Looks like a really well thought out design and well done fab. Those fatties look tiny in there.

8 days to build it. Now that I have this one built, I can probably drop some time off of it. I kept a cut list so I can do this again :mrgreen: This is the first of 3 new designs I have that I would like to take to market.

I love how much room is in there...this will make parties fun!

Fatties are almost done and threw a couple racks of ribs on there. This thing is super easy to control heat. I have about a 30* difference between top and bottom I will play with some air flow to get it closer. But I will cook and think about this for a while because this could be real nice to cook brisket hotter than my ribs at the same time.

I agree with having different temp zones.

[Stingerhook]

[tonyjohnson619]

Awesome job there!!!

 

[Clay-b-que]

Man you work fast! Nice job and it looks like it will hold a ton of Q! Congrats!

 

[Hillbilly BBQ]

Thanks everyone...Had a fun day with some light fab work making a couple of rack, drinking a couple cold beverages and playing with some fire

This thing cooks super fast...wow!!! Ive been cooking all day on this thing with the same load of charcoal from this morning!

And I did some chicken thighs tonight with the Rubbin' Right Honey Bourbon Plus Rub......If you havent had this yet, we took first in chicken with this rub a month ago :mrgreen:

Sharon from Rubbin Right is a great person to work with and we are excited to work with her! She has some terrific rubs and is here on the board. Different than other rubs on the market, but the flavor profiles are awesome.

Oh and just pulled off the store bought mac n cheese with some SPG added.....it might have some chorizo drippings in it too
