Some of you may know me from a few other hide outs.We have competed a little in the past 2 years and hope to do more in the future.Other then a pair of WSMs I build my own cookers typically some version of Stumps style cookers.Always looking for new places to BS with others and see what everyone else is cooking.

Glad you joined the forum, Coz. Where are you in Wisc? My mother did High School in Grant County, and her ancestors settled Livingston, all of that just north of Platteville.
Frickin' BRRR. I did 2 years in the frozen tundra. I lived in Milwaukee's Bay View area, and 6 months on the east side, at Humboldt and Brady, next to the Gull drug store. Old Man Gull was our landlord. Waited for a bus in front of that church @ -25*F. Ambient temp. And it was WINDY. Got an opportunity to head to Smell A, California, and couldn't leave fast enough. Went to the airport wearing long johns, T-shirt, shirt heavy shirt, sweater, jacket, coat. Got to LA sunny and 70.
I think I exaggerated. But only by 1 shirt. Maybe.
Screw the cold. I'll take 4 weeks of 115 plus a few days of 118+ over 20 minutes of -20. Yuck!

So come on out and visit us sometime. We're having a competition the first week of December, and there is another in Lake Havasu City in February. When the really extremely bitter cold moves in. Always fun to head back to Wisconsin in winter sportin' a sunburn! If neither of those works for ya, Spring Training starts the first week of March, or the end of February. BBQ comp in Havasu, a couple Brewer games in Maryvale, back home with a tan by March 5. There ya go.

For cooking, lower and slower. For spices, mo' hotter, mo' better. Habaneros rule!

Coz, welcome
We all would like to see some pics of the Stump clones you make. I am in the planing stages of making a Stumps clone but with rotating racks, convection fan and water tank.

Coz, great job on your build. I looks very professional. I especially like the design of the fuel chute. I am sure you get no logjams with it. I am curious about the stack location though. Why did you put it on the same side as the fire? Did you put plates in the bottom to make it like a reverse flow stick burner?

I am familar with The Prairie BBQ site. I have downloaded a bunch of their pics on the vertical Stumps

Colt,thanks for the compliments.It is a reverse flow.The drain pan is the diverter with a 6" space on the right side for the smake/heat to enter the cook chamber.I am working on plans for the next version.I usually do some kind of winter project.I am just getting ready to build a little better trailer then I will start another cooker.The part I dont care for on this one is I have not found the the sweet spot for the gas shock/spring..It is pretty heavy and the wife cant open it so we cant use it if I have to be gone.other then that it has been a cookin machine.It runs well with the Guru or with out.
