Home Made Smoker + BBQ

[ukracer]

What type are you making ???

I've made a reverse flow off set smoker where the fire box and chimney are both on the same side. It's important to get the size of your fire box and air inlet proportional to the cook chamber and chimney size. I know this from years of experimentation/failure and success

Google Feldons BBQ calculator, it will be your friend in making all the calculations and finalising design.

I've now got mine licked! I use a 47 kg cylinder as the cook chamber and 13 kg cylinder for the fire box. I can get it to maintain a constant temp for around 20 hours for perfect low n slow ribs and brisket

Good luck

You got any pics Parm?

r u cold! lol

I am just debating what to do to the rear and side of the trolley under the smoker. I am thinking clad in timber probably pallet wood, as all the materials that have gone into the build have be re claimed so would be nice to keep it that way! I have got some old sheet metal but it will sound and feel too tinny I think

You can’t have enough grinders

 

[123hotchef]

I did another couple of hours on the smoker today. I knew the empty CO2 bottle would come in handy but man are the heavy duty

 

[123hotchef]

Just need to work out how to cut the chimney so it fits well.

 

[Ashley Burton]

Should the chimney not be at the other end to the smoker box?

 

[123hotchef]

no its a reverse flow smoker
