I weld on industrial size bag houses for air duct systems for manufacturing plants. We weld the seams downhill and it does great at making airtight seams. You should consider welding yours that way. The settings I use for .035 wire is 250 I’m and 20 to 22 volts. You should try that sometime. It would cut down on sanding welds. You could leave the welds and only sand at the starts and stops.

Yeah, where have you been? Good stuff!

Great build! I actually just started building my first pit, same dimensions but I have a 3/8 thick pipe. What size opening did you make from the firebox to the cook chamber?

@fabmakebuildcook6274

Жыл бұрын

Thanks Billy! The opening was roughly 16" wide and 6" deep in the shape of a half circle. Leaving a good lip between the bottom of the cook chamber and the firebox is advisable since it will keep grease from entering the firebox and starting a grease fire. Outside of that I think you have a ton of wiggle room.

Hey Abe, I eyeballed the opening from the firebox to the cook chamber honestly. Not too small and not too large but would err on the side of larger than smaller personally. Make sure you have a barrier between the cook chamber and firebox to avoid grease fires though. The firebox I'd suggest at least 2 feet deep or deeper depending how large of a cook chamber you're going to have. How big are you building?

What steel grade did you use? I'll get my smoker build from 1/4" A36 steel sheet that then will be shaped to cylinder. My main concern is make sure that the steel is food safe since I don't know if that type of steel has a coating that might be non food safe. Do you think A36 is fine? Or not all A36 will be food safe?

@fabmakebuildcook6274

9 ай бұрын

This is 7ga pickled and oiled steel sheet. Once the metal is seasoned it’s completely safe for cooking. A36 hot rolled is the same way. Burn a decent fire in it so it gets around 450f and spray or wipe the inside with some sort of vegetable oil and you’re good to go after a few coats. Washing the metal prior to the fire so all the dirt and crap is off the metal is necessary.

Hey Earl, The collector (complicated exhaust thing) helps move the hotspot outside of the cook chamber. A 90deg elbow does the same thing.
