is Blowin Smoke!
Hey All,
I just finished up with the Smoker Build. Well, my design and a local welding shop's expertise... Thanks to all the pics & discussions on the Brethren I designed what I call the Heinz 57 Smoker... It's 36”x36”x48” with 1.5” Mineral Wool Insulation. 14 ga. Interior walls & 16 ga. Exterior walls. Dual 1” Ball Valves of which I will connect my Ique-110 Temp Controller to one of. 7 racks for ultimate flexibility. A diverter plate, water/grease pan and ash pan.
I have a few things left to do. 1) Flooring for the rest of the trailer. I'm looking for recommendations here. Diamond Plate or Treated Plywood, and why one over the other besides just cost. 2) Fire Basket. I have a line on some stainless steel expanded so I'll make the basket out of that, and a few other things. I'll post a pic of that when it's done. It will slide on rails just like the racks do. And of course 3) The burn...
The Trailer arrived in parts, literally. Fortunately everything was there & undamaged:
The trailer assembled with the axle set back:
The beginning:
In the garage ready for paint. It took 6 spray cans of Rustoleum:
Painted and assembled:
The guts:
Thanks for looking!
