My smoker(the whole build)

[southern151]

It started as a ugly ol' propane tank and, through this guess and, that idea, it's become what is likely my favorite toy!

Very nice! Now that is reusing items that most people disregard. Great work.

What the stainless apparatus in the front, fryer?


Nice work, seen you posted it on FB, I like how you have the doors.

Yes, it's 4 basket fryer. I've still got to plumb everything into the fryer and, the smoker. I also have a sink and, some cabinets that will be loaded soon. I just couldn't wait any longer to use it!

Sweet looking set up Southern. Good job bro.
How did she cook?

[simplepeddler]

Mad skills Corey!!

[Raymond]

Your cut outs look like you used a track but that would be almost impossible. Very clean lines Corey.

I need to repaint my pit, what paint do you suggest?

I've been cooking on it for a while now. I'm just in the transition process to a new trailer and, such. That said, it cooks great! Pegged out, it'll hold 120 lb of leg quarters. That's what we cooked for a Little Angels Foundation charity event a while back.

That was all layout and, freehand torch cuts. I started with a cutoff wheel and, that lasted like no time at all before I was tired of burning up blades!

Metacryl. It's industrial stuff and, pretty tough. My vendor has a store in Kenner and, sells it there. Good stuff!

[duckman1911]

Man there is something great about a good pit. I love it when you can walk by them and smell the smoke.
I really like the sliding racks you have. That is a sweet set up. 120 on the quarters is awesome.
You feed it wood or charcoal? Mixter?

[saute86]

That's a sweet pit. If there is room for more racks you could increase that 120#s to 200 to 250#s of chicken. Is it wood with gas assist.

[MarshRat89]

Damn that's sweet Corey!

All wood burning. I think I'll run this setup through '14 and, hopefully kick off '15 with a new rig. I've been looking at a few different setups here lately that have my attention. Ya never know what'll happen though! LOL!

[Bluechip]

Looks nice dude.... maybe one day I can make it that way and help you cook on it.

And we can discuss the child labor you used too weld it up lol.......

Come on over!

As for the child labor...Isn't that why we have them?!

If it's still running in my possession, I may pass by the SC Tourney this year with it!

If you got any big cooks planned this Spring for a charity function, etc..... Give me some notice and if I'm off, I will be there.... It's a lot of work but great when everyone on the team knows what they are doing.

Again, nice looking rig. I'm jealous.

This whole thing was basically built for charity functions and, personal entertainment. I may have a bit of a complex...I suffer from "So, you think that's a big rig?!" syndrome! LOL! Really, I'm not much on competitive cooking or competitive anything. I gauge my food quality on the smiles, compliments and, quiet tables!

April 6 this year should be a pretty big one for us. We'll likely be cooking for a car show for The Little Angels Foundation. Eman, my go-to-guy for cooking, will be out of town that weekend. I'll know soon if we're cooking and, let you know.

[Bluechip]

I'm the same way.....
