Full Fledged Farker
Hi all, I thought I would post some pictures of the smoker build that my friend and I recently completed. I’ve learned a heck of a lot on the forum over the years, from a lot of people. Wanted share some of the details of our build in case it would help anyone in a similar situation.
Just a few details about the project.. We wanted a whole hog smoker that we could use for contests and catering. The cooking chamber is 33.5” wide and x 72” long, with insulation on the top and bottom. The fire box is 29” wide x 25” tall and 25” long with 2” of ceramic insulation.
Long story short, we started this project in late November, and just fired it up yesterday, for the first time. Really happy with it so far. I’ll post pictures and comments of the process as I have time over the next few days. I hope this helps anyone looking at similar build.
First pics are of the trailer that we found on the side of the road. Got it for $400, so we felt like we were off to a good start. We took off the boards and drove up to Green Bay to pick up the pipe, which we were able to source from one of our competition friends. He had it rolled out of 1/4 steel. After taking a couple of weeks off we laid the insulation and covered it with plates of 1/8" steel.
