Well, I learned something tonight. Just because your fire basket is 24x24x8 doesn't mean you have to fill it up. I hit 600 in the cabinet! Lol, she's holding steady at 350 right now, but there's still a lot of fuel in there...
I've got five inches under the fire box. She's dropped to 300 now. Warped the fire box door with my raging inferno.
Ugly Drum Smokers. Cheap, easy to build, effective. Please update your build. I'm currently collecting components for my own smoker build. I'm going to be using an 80 gallon air tank for the cook chamber. It will be a reverse flow design and I'm trying to decide if it will have an additional cook chamber above the firebox or not. Long way from lighting the torch due to too many projects though.
With all the various smoker threads perhaps a sub-forum in the break-room is appropriate?
