home built smoker
 

i always wanted a bigger smoker, my son-in-law works at a sign company and got me the pipe it is off fall from sign poles the fire box is 24" 3/8 the smoke box is 36" 3/8 works great i baffeled the inside so it would not be that much hotter on the fire box end it also has a water pan. it is 48 " long

AHHHHH ! you can taste it too ..LOL I have smoked a ton of smelt in my day and lots of salmon and sturgeon ,,but nothing else ,,wish I had my smoker building back after seeing this one..

Great job on the fab, I like the skid it's on too. :metal:

Just one question, does that grill stick out all the time, from the pic it looks like it goes all the way back and stick out? Or is it an illusion? If it does stick out, why that design? not negative- just curious.
I have used prefabbed smokers mostly, with the exception of my uncles old refrigerator smoker for salmon and steelhead.

sub-versive it is just pulled out in this picture it goes all the way in i made it so you can take it out to clean it and the baffel below it.

Re: home built smoker
 

I like it. How is the heat distribution when smoking?

I am planning on building one as well, I think I'll be using 2 55 gal drums unless I find some pipe like you have for real cheap.

Re: home built smoker
 

Mmmm,smelt.Love them crispy critters(well,not too crispy if smoked).
That`s a fine job on that smoker,alright.You could put a big ol`turkey in there.

Re: home built smoker
