Hey Guys, I thought i might post a few pics of my latest Project the American style BBQ Smoker..
I originally was going to build a Cold smoker which used for preserving meats etc using smoke only with no cooking heat but i found the Slow cooking Smoker interesting so i thought i would give it a go.
I found a heap of info on this online as its Massive in the USA with them holding Huge Competions etc.etc
It basically works as a large oven but using in-direct heat from another chamber that has the fire in it...
It is a little tricky to run at first as you need to try and maintain a constant heat as the fire dies down and the new wood added flares up..
Anyhoo here is a few pics of the building Process...
Cutting the doors and welding the ends on the pipe...
Making and adding the hinges...
Making the Ashbox Door with Air inlet adjuster for Temp control...
The Fire Box Grate to support the Fire and the pull out BBQ Grill YeeHaw!!!...
All put together and a stand with wheels..
Then all painted up..
Then then the burning in / Seasoning run...
Still got a few additions to make like Handles for the doors and a Firewood holder underneath but other wise it right to use..
I will post a few pics of Test Cooking day shortly...
