I have finally finished my smoker. I lit it without using a baffle and the temp on the door gauge never went above 220 which I think mean the temp is a bit higher in the oven.
the temp held for 5 hr with only 1 top up of fuel. All in all 1 happy bbqer
:clap::clap::clap::clap:

That is pretty neat. Can't wait to see it cooking something:clap2:
 
Lookin' good, Aggro!

Have you checked the smoking chamber with a temp probe on a lead? I'm interested in what the temp is vs. the thermometer reading on the door.

Have a real ale and/or a good Aspall's for me. I frequently suffer from withdrawal from my 4 years in East Cambs.

Regards,

Great job, what does the inside of the top part look like?
 
Congrats on the build. Looking forward to reading about your cooks.
 
Nice brick work! Bet you could do a pizza in that thing.
 
A pic of the racks as requested
The lower rack will have a baking tray for water in as a baffle.

I may need to reinforce the racks if I am cooking multiple joints.

I need to tidy up the mess I made making it before the wife moans.

Nice looking cooker! Always neat to see old time brick pits. Nice job!
 
Great Smoker.

Did you post a build thread that I missed?

Can't wait to see some cooks!
 
these are the only other pics I can find during the build.

I am no bricklayer so was happy with how it turned out

I use 3 different types of bricks as I got them from various ebay auctions. Below the both door openings there is flat steel to support the bricks. Also the same under the chimney edges before I set the concete roof.

Very Nice, my father built one in the ground when we were young, grill out front and the smoke chamber went up the back with a steel door. Room enough for turkeys and hams.
Looking forward to seeing you cooks.
