OT- New Smoker is competed - OT VERY pic heavy.
Reverse Flow Offset (I let the guy who welded it for me pick the name, I know "The Beast" is common, but I let him have this)
72" x 24" CC
3/8" CC, 1/4" Warmer, 1/2" Fire Box
All slide out trays, adjustable opening between CC and Warmer.
I did a quick trial and the air flow worked out perfect, temp got up quick. I added a drain to the baffle / trip plate, and one to the whole chamber to flush out ash if needed.
I will cut the legs off and mount it to a trailer maybe next year.
Just waiting for some gauges to put in and ready for first cook.

Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.
Status- Standing by.
The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
Outstanding outcome. Clearly well thought out from design to build. Congrats on the rig. And regarding the name-it is permanentLouisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Wow. You must be excited. That's dream come true stuff. Looks like well thought out build.Phoenix -
Thanks guys, yes we plan to load it up pretty good. Ill be sure to post some pics when we do.County of Parkland, Alberta, Canada

The name fits accordingly. Great looking smoker. I'm excited for you. A whole new animal. Is this you first stick burner? The smoke profile can't be beat.

It is yes. Hardwood around here is the only issue, that's why stick burners are not common here. I did find some Oak though.County of Parkland, Alberta, Canada -
Dude. That rocks.
One question I have about this sort of design - with the reverse flow and the vertical cooking/warming chamber over the firebox:
Is there a way for air/heat to flow directly to the vertical cabinet from the firebox - or does it have to traverse the horizontal chamber first. And if that is the case, what temp difference do you typically see between the horizontal and the vertical components? My offset is not a reverse flow design and has a vertical cabinet opposite the firebox and there is a sizable difference in temp between the two chambers.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

I was going to add a door from the top of the FB to the warming drawer but decided not to and went from the CC to warmer instead. I am not familiar enough with the temps yet. However, while doing a quick dry run with the vent to the warmer closed the temp was sitting around 150 in the warmer. I had the chimney stack closed on warmer as well. It will take awhile to play with it.Here is the door I had put in between CC and warmer.

The guy who welded it for me isn't a pit builder. He was a friend of a co-worker. His neighbor actually. I supplied him with all the steel, (mostly from scrap yards) besides the expanded metal grates. And provided him with detailed hand drawings of all dimensions and such, internal and ext. He is an amazing welder, but pit building isn't his job or hobby. It was a one off that he did for me over the winter.County of Parkland, Alberta, Canada -

Thanks.
So, with that small opening there is no question that it is just a warming chamber. I've had desires to use both the vertical and the horizontal components for cooking at time and I've made it work - but it requires a lot of thought and effort. Ultimately, I decided to just use the vertical cabinet for warming and it has worked out well.

Great looking smoker. You must do a lot of large parties. I could never fill that thing up. I have a question. Being that its outside uncovered. How are you going to manage rust? You are in Canada correct? I would think that thing would rust up in about a month during the wet seasons.

I don't think I would have more issues with rust being in Alberta than down South or on the Coast. I gave it a quick base layer of high temp spay Rust-Oleum last night, I'll do a few more coats over time. Not much else I am going to due to it. It has poured here off and on and the inside stayed dry. I'll keep it well oiled and clean. That's about it for now. Its 3/8 and 1/2" thick, If I take decent care of it I think it will last a pretty long time.County of Parkland, Alberta, Canada -
