smokers DIY: Smoker Project EVO 1 "by Cypresshill1973"
- Thread starter cypresshill1973
- Start date
DAY 2
Buy some pipes and profiles to start. First cut to size and clean with gasoline to remove oils.
Cuts at 45º
Then I went to remove the barrel where the blacksmith would be cleaned.
Was not finished yet, so you witness the cleaning... just missing inside
This is the machine they used.
Back home started working.
Making a base for the barrel and placing the legs
Now this looks like a smoker

DAY 3
Placing grill supports and internal reinforcements
Building frames grills. I have chosen to put three small grills, so that can be removed if not needed.
Finished some frames. Then they will put metal lath (drain grill)
We reinforce the lid and look with two hinge
Tambien hicimos una puerta en el tambor secundario.
I doubt if I put in the current position the firebox. Or to put it vertically

DAY 4
Choose to put the firebox vertically. Staying as a salamander. That was the original idea.
Work on the tube that connected the firebox with a barrel

looks good man.
Big grilling/BBQ culture in Argentina? or are you an outlier.

Here are a lot of barbecue culture. No habit of making smoked.
Our grill is a little different and is always done the same way. so I want to experiment with new forms.

i LOVE all the open pits.

DAY 5
Sunday started building grills and shelf below the smoker with mesh
Parts with oxide are observed because this morning there was an unexpected cloudburst and pileup has been splashed.
Then we started with the hardest part of the whole work, "locks of circulation"
From this crank operates the airlock between the two tanks.
This is at the door of the firebox and is in charge of the amount of oxygen that will receive the wood is burned.
Here is raw but without paint is difficult to understand...
Here is a condition of the smoker almost over. Missing a few details, the fireplace (with airlock retractions) basero floor, painting and decorative details.

DAY 6
Placed firebox door and designed a door lock system that is airtight. It has been a real pain, but ultimately the goal was achieved.
Paint for high temperatures...
Firebox 1200ºF
Barrel 600ºF
Placed the door opening handle and wheels

That's a pretty small opening because it's not only to deliver smoke, it's to deliver heat. Usually it would be horizontal with the top half of the side removed.
I don't know man. I don't see this getting hot enough to cook. 225 is going to be hard.

It's one of my fears ... use a software to calculate sizes. I was a little bit bigger, but I have not gotten wider pipe. Without buying a whole piece.
Should be small and require more heat, I like option to put a second pipe to carry more heat to the barrel.
Thanks for your attention! This is valuable information.
Do you think I should put a second pipe before continuing?

Usually not pipes, you flip that horizontal and cut the top of the side out.
It was much more work to do so ...
I'll work on a solution, perhaps have reason to achieve cost temperature.

Test it.
heat rises and I agree opening is small but fire it up and run it for a heat test. It will need to be seasoned really well regardless! Awesome craftsmanship regardless!
Thank you all for your support and opinions. have been helpful
I already have the solution and I will be paralleled another pipe just above. Thereby doubling the flow and is a very simple task.
Welding together two drums was very complicated, because of the way the smaller drum. Make cuts on curved cylindrical surface is very complex and preferably avoid doing. Also at the weld seam on sheet metal, should be done with autogenous welder, and not have one.
With the new modified there will be an area of 5x5 "and I think will be enough.
I researched a lot about smokers do before. I have seen many fireboxes connected by pipes to the smoker.
The idea of this design is ease of use with multiple functions. smoker, grill and wood-burning oven.

Uhhh... where's the chimney... and the dampers?
