Just hinges and handles to go now. And stick the wheels on. And air intakes.

I made one like this some years back.
There's quite a lot of info around on size of firebox, flue diameter and firebox to cook chamber hole.
I found it OK and made some good smoked pork etc BUT I moved on to an " ugly drum smoker" based on 200l oil drum.
Incredibly fuel efficient and once you have the feel of the air vents runs a steady temperature for ages.
I have a temu PID controller and fan to set up and tune at some point.
Think there was a thread on here but there's a huge one on the US smoking bbq sites

I like that.

Any plans available?
I've probably the bits to make something similar.

Not plans as such, I can send you my cad model but I'm not sure how much help it will be.


Theres a few things I need to update in the model, the hinges will probably be weld on bullet hinges, and I've not designed air intakes for the firebox yet. I've just spotted the frame in that model is butted rather than mitred too.

If you do go for it, one particularly awkward aspect is the angled slice to connect the two cylinders with a flat plate, I had to make a jig up to scribe a line in the end.

Volumes, chamber hole and air intakes have all been sized with Feldon's BBQ calculator. Chimney is about twice as long as it should be because any shorter and I wouldn't have got the remaining stock in the shed. I may have to trim it or, add a restrictor plate.

PID sounds fun, I'll have to look into that.

Servicing my sons Hermle Westminster chime clock today & after putting it back together & hanging it on the wall I needed to adjust the minute hand so undid the hand nut & promptly dropped it down behind the freezer so as removing the freezer would mean removing a washing machine & various cupboards I decided to make a replacement.

Knocked up some tooling for the fly press. Made from scrap, as usual. I'll be using it to make some brackets.

That's unlucky, but funny.

Made the other day but forgot to post, a simple post for a trailer hand winch to make it easier for friend to move heavier/awkward objects alone.

Tested with the +150kg roller as unlikely to do more than half that and it worked with the crappy mig welds holding (old Clarke mig150te welder kept blowing fuses for some reason and still doesn't feed perfectly) although bent the pole slightly due to pulling it up the edge without a ramp but still usable.

2 and 3 are equal opportunity losers.

A spindle clamp - even involved welding!
For slot cutting.

Technically 2 is 40mm less of a loser than 3 is! But I agree not alot in it!

You're not allowed to hurt peoples feelings now, even if they are a loser

Today I decided to declutter the side where my tool grinder goes in the workshop, and grind a few metric thread cutting tools in hhs for the bantom, and then got carried away and ground a few more,
