Next step is to run copper in the bottom of your firebox and create a rudimentary steam generator that directly powers the condenser on a mini fridge. Gotta be able to keep those drinks cold. The hotter the fire the colder the drinks.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 this has to be the most loaded smoker I've every seen! I hope the customer competes or have a catering company, or a major tailgater! This is super over the top for a backyard smoker.
Beautiful smoker, just sucks that u have that big tank but in reality the cook surface is much smaller because the grates do not go across the whole tank. Beautiful smoker tho and great attention to detail.
Thanks Brian! We always strive to put the hubs as far as we can toward the back as possible! But the farther back, the greater the tongue weight. It's a dance😂
How does insulating the bottom improve or affect the cook? I’ve never known anyone to cook on an offset with an insulated bottom. What is the benefit to that? Thanks in advance to anyone that can explain this.
Why is there no full grate system upper and lower? There’s a lot of wasted cook space. Other than that is a nice build but that’s a lot of lost cook space that can be utilized.
We build custom. Those would be an added expense. We can also put full nose grates in if you like. If you do standard drop in lowers, it's 3 grates that cover the entire bottom.
Opinions are all over the board on that. This has the slideout lower grate option, I've actually had pitmasters prefer no center 5" grate in there. The reasoning behind it was, if they lap the meat onto it to over-fill the smoker, then it renders a slide-out grate useless. You may as well have done the 3 -drop in grates. So to answer your question, yes. If you do not opt for slide-out lower grates, you get a full lower grate, from seam to seam. If you opt for slide-out lowers, you get 2 grates. If you want a little 5" grate in-between, or a nose cone grate, let us know, we will get you set up👍🇺🇸
