Title: So you want a stickburner but don't have the room to park a trailer?
Post by: Smokin_Turkey on June 08, 2009, 12:47:42 pm
Meet my littlest reverse flow! She's fully functional and very accurate! I competed on her for rib turn in at RocCity Ribfest in Rochester, NY a few weeks back and placed 26th of 62 teams! (never competed before that!)

She's best run on all wood, she cooks 1/2 chickens, a bunch of legs, garlic cloves, racks of ribs, pork butts, and more! You'd be surprised what you can fit in a 6x13" chamber!

The little girl starts on propane to make her easier to get going, all parts on her function like the big boys. The tongue cranks to ballance temps, the vents to raise and lower temps, the valve to drain grease...

Just 'cause she is small, don't think she is a light weight! She weighs in over 75 lbs and has so much mass, when you shut her fire down from 250, she takes over 1.5 hours before she drops below 200!

I build and sell these for $450 right now on my website or if you have a special size or request, give me a shout and we will custom build you something!

Thanks!

Roughly $65-85 UPS Ground 4 days to AZ. I am working on building 2 more next week I think. These will be a test on a lighter weight build.

Just curious, Is that a working axle on the trailer and can your remote control Jeep actually tow the smoker?   As Mike would say,  It's all about the roll-up.

a 3lb camp stove bottle painted white. I cannot ship a propane tank so it is up to the customer to paint one if they want. It is a propane pre-starter.

Exactly! I got a green coleman 3lb bottle, took the label off and buffed the sticky crap away then painted it white to make it look like a 30lb propane tank on the front. I have been using this a bunch (at least 15 times) and still am using the same propane tank. The propane is just for starting so there is plenty! Harbor Freight sells a refill kit for these bottles for something like $20. Just hook the big bottles to the little bottle with the adapter and fill'er up! I actually thought about using some model decals I have in a box someplace for a propane tank hazard. Thought it would be overkill though.

Not be off topic but I am thinking that my wife will be buying the "Branding Iron" for me for Father's Day.  I was wondering what format you need for the logo.  I will be paying the extra for the Design.   Thanks, let me know!!

That is an awesome smoker, we are thinking about getting some of them for the GC Trophy for our next event.  That would be pretty cool trophy.. A working Mini..

Aww sorry bud! I have around $280 in parts in the little bugger and a week of fabricating. Working on getting it down to 3 days and less materials to lower the cost some and try to make a few $ on the deal. Most if not all of our products are priced too low right now but its paying off with getting us orders while helping our customers in these times of hardship. I know I understand the pain of my customers and the desire to still have great BBQ stuff!

Mike, I think that would be an awesome GC award.   Would that be included in the prize fund??  ;D  Could not help myself.

Shipping is all based on your location. The current version 1.0 we have weighs aprox 75lbs. The version 2.0 we are currently crafting has a target weight of 50 lbs and does not have the propane pre-starter.

Very cool news out today! This is now the world record holder for the shortest reverse flow smoker!

I've just finished a much lighter (roughly 40lbs vs 75lbs for the old one) and still as functional unit! It's the 2.0 mini!!


The chamber length is 1" longer and 1/2" deeper, the Drain is larger and flows better, the baffle is flat to also be used as a griddle, the draft is much more consistent from the new vents, the latch is much sturdier on the new patio configuration. Im knocking $150 off the price for these buggers!

That would make a great prize. Although I'm not sure who would want to strut up on stage to accept the "Teeny Weeny" award. ::)

First, take your digitalis. Then look at the first post. Price is near the last line. Have a defibrillator handy.

it's a hand fabricated pit which takes days and is actually as hard or harder than building a full size pit. Think - "ship in a bottle" and the original idea for these was to be a working display and something I could play with at home. It was my fellow BBQ friends who convinced me to put a price tag on them.  :angel:

I didn't mean to editorialize about the price Brian.  ;) I love the looks of your stuff. In fact, if I have more time next East coast trip I take, I'd love to come see your place, get a first hand look at your stuff. Those small smokers are pretty heavy, aren't they? I didn't look to see if you stated an approximate weight.

Just looked. 75! That's more'n what my fat dog weighs! Neat.

The first mini with the trailer frame and propane bottle weighs more than 80. The new one i built weighs more like 40. I was able to trim down weight by reducing the materials involved. I went from 1/4" thick body to 3/16" and 1/8" which in scale is still way more than sufficient. I actually was able to make a nicer build with the thinner materials also due to the fact i was able to bend the thinner materials which left less welding like the internal baffle which came out really sweet in the new mini. This is also part of where the $150 less came from. New fabrication methods giving less man hours involved. When I get an order for one of these, I can have one start to finish done in about 3 days depending on other shop workload. The holidays coming, Im anticipating what happened to me last year which is everyone waits until the second week of Dec and wants it for Xmas.
