Pretty awesome Keith! Does the whole thing spin? I'd love to see a video!
Ditto Dave... The cooks are very fun, sometimes I'll start out H&F, then bump to L&S for a while and finish direct in between. Nothing the 007 can't do for sure!Keith, it has been fun working with you on the prototypes and I really learned quite a bit about fabricating custom parts. I'll will add a cad drawing or two and some DIY hints as soon as I can. While it ain't the same as L&S (or even H&F) cooking in a more tratitional smoker there is a LOT of good things to be said for cooking over an open fire, most of all an incredible "taste" you just can't get any other way I know of.
Thanks very much. Yea it's nice to shut down fast saving the wood for a quick start on the next cook.Nice design Keith. The swing away with the kettle lid is a great idea and allows for normal shutdown. :thumb:
Thanks Decoy, the swivel grate goes 360* with the drum stationary.Pretty awesome Keith! Does the whole thing spin? I'd love to see a video!
Looks like someone needs to hit the comp trail to me.That thing has potential,just use your imagination.
Well a little different, but sometimes the same. Most cooks are direct from a distance or can be indirect so they give much different results. The smoke is the cleanest so in that aspect yes it's like a offset. Even with a bad fire you have clean smoke if that makes sense...the exhaust is like open top cooking.That's really interesting, Keith. (I needed to chime in in case you didn't already know that.) While the heat delivers differently, I suppose the fire is maintained just the same as somebody would for a small offset?

If you all were cooking with the lid's vents closed, I suppose the exhaust system would slightly resemble that of a cooker like the Hasty Bake, where the vents are around food level.
That's just a hanging basket that will hold pans of food or just to catch drippings/cook indirect. My version #1 has a round hanging grate.Hey Keith, i was looking at the pictures again. Why did you use a squared of lower grate not round. I looks like you could hang a kettle lid in there.
