I recently made a new purchase of an offset smoker, one that allows me to take it with me if I choose to do so because it's attached to a trailer. It's a smaller cooker that gives me the opportunity to enter a competition down the road without having to drag around one so large as some of the monsters I've seen. The inside capacity for meat is approx.. 70 lbs, that will feed a crowd of 40-50 people. I can also smoke a pig up to 50 lbs. It also allows me to put on heavier smoke profile and a thicker bark and fuel is free. Unfortunately, it does require a lot of attention with fuel having to add a stick or two every 45 mins or so unlike our KK's that are almost virtually carefree. I'm certainly not trying to replace my KK,...I'm simply covering my bases. These smokers are made of 1/4 inch rolled steel and are harder to maintain temp due to the elements that could affect there performance. So I have to build a cover/shelter to keep the rain off when in use. Nothing extravagant, maybe something similar to one of Aussie's pics when he was at an outdoor BBQ in the backcountry. Something practical. This is a reverse flow smoker..meaning that the smoker travel under the plate pictured and surfaces on the last 4 inches and travels across to the opposite side to exit the stack. This allows for a more even temp across the cooking area. After your cook you simply hose the area down and wire brush your grates, the water flows to the middle into the trough and exits a drain. Nice and clean, and fast. The chimney stack picture depicts the clean smoke exiting at a cooking temp of 275 degrees. Beef clod heart on smoker, 9lbs and 9 hrs later, midnite, oh boy, have to plan that better. Industrial refractory on brick pile, touque and groove and 5 inch base brick used to make fire pit and cooker, just have make a grate. 30x30 inside Any ideas for cover

At least you get to look at it and admire your purchase.....pretty nice, huh.

Is there a special recipe for dough? I have one but work it down to a...well a thinner slab,,,thin has always been my personal favorite. Happy to see the new BB32 is working for you.

Do it on a dry day, safe and sure. There aren't any cactus where I live so as soon as the sky returns do your thing. Nice setting for your 32...the best.

Great pics, you the Ms's and your son did well. The look is inviting and I'm sure the cooks will be inticing. Cudo's to you and yours the look is fantastic.

Very nice pizza and it's cut to perfection. Ain't thin crust the best. Hey, some say the other way but, you know it's thin. That thick crust just fills u up, done. Glad the 32 is your go to for pizza, cause your kids are getting bigger and you need room to move. Perfect crust on the bottom, gooood so good.

Hey, look at you,,your almost there. Check the cable or straps two or three times certainly no slips at this point in the game. The stone work and prep looks great too, best of luck

It's hard to mess things up, I guess it can be done. Most of my cooks are 250-350 so it's a straight road so to say. Your KK is forgiving and it recovers nicely after peeking and multi checking. Even if it didn't go to plan the food is still great.

It matches perfectly. Nice choice, your gonna love it. Happy cooking

Handsome color choice or should I say pretty, well there all a marvel to behold...especially in person. Howz dat Carolina BBQ, you like red or mustard?

CHOICES!!! They all look fantastic!

You get line, I'll get a pole babe, you get line, I'll get a pole Honey, You get a line, I'll get a pole we'll go down to the Crawdad hole, honey babe of mine

Ok Pink Floyd gig. Yah! Was there a humungous BBQ to wrap it all up. Flyin pigs, musta been a great event. You still here bro, your not like zippin me from the Dark Side of da MOON?

Is that a Led Zep concert, I don't know but I like sausage drizzzzzlin down on ribs. Was it good

On the level, balance. Whats off on the bottom will show at the top, but there's always a work around. Good job and good luck

It's arrived. The unveiling should commence at your earliest convenience or sooner. Wake up!!

23 bucks Goood. Looks like Blue stone, did it have a name? Oh nice cut, diamond tip blade? Keep it going

Hai wakarimasu. Tabemono wa yoidesu

Well, well, well ain't that a bonafide looking meal. Those skewers look like the local blacksmith turned em. Good show.

That about settles it, you even speak Japanese. I watched Shogun but, the words aren't familiar.

Good Yakirtori is hard to come by outside Japan. Are u two or three venturists opening a establishment soon.

Good idea.

Quite the action packed plan and a bag full too. That sealer sounds like grout sealer type. Is it necessary in your part of the world, certainly won't hurt. Good luck...hope you meet your goal. Go for it
