Hello All,
I was embarrassed at the school I had just re-finished the smoker prior to the Cookin 4 u class and thought I had fixed the problems <<<<NoT
So when I got home It was re- Re- configured... One problem I was having was the upright stack would not heat up enough to cook anything so I plated the bottom and built an independent fire box off the back, I then turned the regular horizontal box into a reverse air smoker it heats allot evener (is that a word) I then moved the small cooker from the top (it was not functional) down onto the fire box with an in line damper I can regulate it to run any temperature I need. With all this and the time.
I then cut the stainless tables loose from the smoker itself, they were working like a radiator fin in the wind cooling down parts of the cooker.
Not wanting to stop we went to Barbeque Island and purchased 3 of the Fancy gauges for the cooker and a few odds and ends. (That a great Store)
Then I decided to order a stoker (OH YEH) I am able to close my vents off turn the stoker on and it regulates the heat very nice.
You might think why didn't I just build a new one ... GOOD Question...Something about admitting defeat dint like admitting that unless its to my wife (daily)
Anyhow enjoy the Pictures we cooked a pork butt and think its the best one we have ever done (so does the neighbors) of course its free food so why wouldn't they. I think it looks good
What do you all Think???
