Re: Low buck smoker build
Right now it's just going to be an offset conventional style, I had originally planned to build a reverse flow, I may later on add some angle iron in the bottom and put a long plate and add another smokestack, but for now i'm sticking with what I know.

Re: Low buck smoker build

Re: Low buck smoker build
I bought it off a dude on Craigslist, he had already cut into it, but i've been told to fill them with water then soak for awhile and cut into it then.

Re: Low buck smoker build
![]() About 99% done now, sure am happy with it. Fired it up last night and man it's easy to get temps under control with this thing. Gotta fire it up a few more times before I cook on it to getit good and seasoned. Gonna paint the trailer black also and section off the other side for wood storage.

Re: Low buck smoker build
Very nice! We've had an old propane tank sitting here waiting to do the same thing for 5 years now, just need to get one of those "round tuits"
