Title: Look i'm almost done!!!!!
Post by: 347Thunder on October 13, 2010, 02:06:14 PM
So, I have been trying to make my first smoker out of a 30 gal compressor. I just need to make legs, build a smoke box out of a 5 gal air tank, and build some legs for it... also some really cool smoke stacks:mullet:

Nice work.  I wish I knew how to weld and work with metal.

Make sure the main tank seals tight.

the blue one was from a friend that had the piston explode(30 gal compressor), and the yellow one is from harbor freight(11 gal air tank), and the controls are from a grill i found in someones trash.

So I did a trial run, and the pork butt came out awesome. It stayed at 300* for six hours, and I was able to turn off the gas and just feed it logs. I cant wait to do some ribs, tomorrow I will be doing some turkey . What do you guys think. I still need to mount some expanded metal under the smoker to hold my wood and get a hose extention to mount the tank,  these are a ton of work... and some smoke stacks

I'm thinking we need to taste test the product to make sure it comes out okay :grinno:

Seriously, that is cool.
