Re: home built smoker
Great job on the fab, I like the skid it's on too.
 Just one question, does that grill stick out all the time, from the pic it looks like it goes all the way back and stick out? Or is it an illusion? If it does stick out, why that design? not negative- just curious. I have used prefabbed smokers mostly, with the exception of my uncles old refrigerator smoker for salmon and steelhead. |

Re: home built smoker
I like it. How is the heat distribution when smoking?
I am planning on building one as well, I think I'll be using 2 55 gal drums unless I find some pipe like you have for real cheap.
