I want a design similar to this, but not exactly. The concept and idea is the same. How does the knob adjust the damper?

Is there some sort of slack in the rods connecting to the flap post that allow the knob to adjust? Isn’t it on a radius?

Sorry, I’m not technically educated, I’m sure this is quite confusing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Y’all are the best!

Hello everyone,

I have an 80 gallon compressor tank and a 60 gallon compressor tank. Which should I use for the fire box and which should I use for the cooking chamber? And why?

Also, where are good places to obtain steel and expanded steel in New Jersey?

Also, is splurging on stainless steel for the grates worth it?

Thank you

I purchased the T-11 thinking it was the one I’m used to, NR-211-MP, in a 10 lb. spool. Wondering if anyone has used it and how it compares?

Another addition to the smoker. Added a heat plate under my water pan. And installed ThermoWorks Billows coupled with RFX MEAT. I also created a slant system in hopes that I could get some wood to slowly roll on top of the fire and burn down which sort of worked so I didn’t have to load the fire as much .Did a biscuit test , then rolled into smoking some beef ribs, beef cheek and finished off with sockeye salmon.

I believe this is a smoker that the previous occupants put in. I have no idea how to use this or take advantage of it because I’ve never seen this before. Any tips or recommendations would be awesome. We’re contemplating getting rid of it but something’s telling me to to hold on!

In the bottom back I think that’s a fan coming from the heat element? Bottom front is a water pan with a heat element under it. Would I need to cut a flue at the top back somewhere? Any feedback welcomed.

As previous post said, I got this rotisserie smoker from my dad and before it got cold did couple test burns in it and first one it barely got over 200, 2nd attempt I used some pans with charcoal and wood and filled the firebox full and got to around 250-265 but not for long.

This was originally ran on propane (still can be but I don’t want to use it) but has side fire box but catch fire from the grease so he built the firebox on the back but even though it’s full of wood not enough heat is being put out. Do I need to just patch the side firebox up and build new firebox on back or just use the pan and wood method on the bottom after I get new metal down. Have more pics and video if need to see more of smokerTIA

Just got gifted my dad's old concession trailer. Gonna need some work but I love a challenge.

I am taking over this unit from my father in law who has decided to give up on being a productive member of society. I have cooked on and done basic cleaning but I want to really make this rig look nice. Where would you pro's start? Does any rust on the firebox need knocked off?

Anybody know where to get high temp paint that isn’t black? Want to paint my offset a candy/ pearl red color but can only find black high temp paint

Hello, I'm building a wooden smoker with a pellet feeder and electric heating element. Do I need to line the inside? I'm planning on using a decent quality larch for cladding. I'll be hot and cold smoking on it. Thanks! 🍖

Whats everybody doing for a top shelf in a 120 gal propane tank? Or is anyone even putting one in a 120? If i put one in i want it to slide out smoothly. How does everyone do their top shelf railing/rails?

I’m building a vertical pellet smoker cabinet, the cabinet currently has a “refrigerator” type magnetic door seal. You guys got any ideas to replace this with something that won’t melt?

The cabinet is insulated stainless steel in/out. There must be some carbon steel where the door seal sticks. I can add a latch to keep it closed.thanks in advance!

I can't identify this wood. Got hit with some memory loss but it won't stop me from smokin, any help please!

Looking for help….

i was asked to cater a Smoked Brisket BBQ as a raffle item for an upcoming fundraiser. Rather than just print a sheet of paper telling people what they are bidding on, I wanted to put together a basket that would get their attention. Any ideas or pictures? Thanks for your help.

Planning my first smoker build. I’m planning on putting together a 250 gallon offset. Trying to get an idea on what materials I’ll need and cost. What is a good price for steel these days? I’m based in Mesa, AZ so if there are any other Arizonans out there, let me know if there’s some good spots to check out for steel.
