#bbqsmokerbuild

It's finished! After nine months of pretty intensive labor, a little blood and quite a lot of sweat it's finally finished and it's time to do the final reveal, a walk around, and critique of this build. All-in-all, I'm very satisfied with this build.

Disaster struck when I jackknifed my trailer into my driveway, I didn't know I had done it until I removed the trailer from the hitch. This video details the repairs as well as a few other odds and ends.

Thanks for watching!

Here's the link to Feldon's BBQ Pit/Smoker Build Calculator: http://feldoncentral.com/bbqcalculator.html

Another great site for smoker fabricators, lots of friendly people willing to give advise: http://smokerbuilder.com/forums/index.php

2 years, 6 months ago

The build continues on. On a big project like this, you come to realize it's actually a series of small projects all put together to get a finished product. Occasionally, sit and look at your project and think for a while about where you're going with it.

2 years, 6 months ago

In this video, you'll see I've been making some great progress with this smoker build. Keep watching there are many surprises yet to come as I move forward. I've also stepped up my video editing skills considerably in this video.

2 years, 6 months ago

Continuing on with my smoker build and making steady progress. In this
video the cooking chamber actually begins to take shape and starts to
actually look like what it's intended for.

I'll repost the links here for the two web sites that can help you
determine proper dimensions for your build.

http://feldoncentral.com/bbqcalculator.html

The first site above helps you determine the sq. inches needed for the
opening between the fire box and the cooking chamber, this one helps
convert the sq. inches into usable dimentions.

The build continues, it turned out the rust problem was more than I
bargained for and as you'll see, I had quite a time patching it.

As I noted in the video, here are the links to these sites to help you in your smoker build.

2 years, 6 months ago

In this video, I'm continuing on with my build, something I don't show a lot of is me
actually using the tools there's plenty of videos for that, what I want
to show is some of the problems I've encountered and how I've gone
about solving them. If you should choose to build one of these you're
going to have challenges too, but they can be overcome.
