Have you cooked anything on a backyard pit with an insulated firebox? Is it beneficial on a smaller pit?

I’m a Fabricator - Welder - Toolmaker of 34 years. ‘If you think you have metal figured out you haven’t messed with metal long enough’ Word!! Nice build, nice tips. I’m starting to make me an offset smoker, obviously I don’t have a problem with the actual making of one. But I don’t know that much about smokers… I’m learning 😜

[@furball8967]

Moving the temp Gaige off the door is smart. Our smokers go through too many thermometers. Now we know why.

[@purpleheartbbq576]

When he was talking about the collector and the air having turbulence on the way out. What’s the problem with that?

[@blech71]

They look simple enough when finished but there’s so many little tweaks that takes years of experience to get things like equal heat retention and draw just right.

[@darrelllatham6086]

Love the heavy steel but a smaller door. Still can work but not so heavy. In NC, the "pig cooker" is the main vehicle. They are frankly easy to use, this off set looks like you solved an issue I hate, fire box heat loss. Nice rig, no website and no prices so I'll make you an offer. I own a small soap company. I'll go 750 bars ($4117.50) for that rig. Let me know so I can start loading my truck, d

[@igotJesus88]

I’m real curious about the deflector vs no deflector. I keep hearing people say that the heat won’t travel up and across the food. It will be a bottom to top cook vs up and over. Thoughts on this?

[@TexicanaBBQConsulting]

A little deflector helps directing the heat to the right spots, big deflector on an angle 📐 don’t really work most reverse flow have more problems than benefit…

[@TexicanaBBQConsulting]

@@therichieboy I don’t recommend it. If you are super talented welder is doable . problem is that with heat metal expands and that kind of constant friction with time that can cause problems.

How can I prevent the door from springing out when it is being cut out with a torch? Do you add the bars on the door before capping the ends? Thanks

[@jordesign]

One method I have seen is to cut the pipe lengthwise to "pre" spring it, then weld in some bar stock/plate to fill in the gap...

When it is raining does water getting into the smoker from the top? Or is it welded so water can not get into the smoker?

[@Mr.Saltwater]

Water boils at 212 F or 100 C. Not an issue

[@prestonbarnett4912]

And also you can get a rubber seal to go around the lid so it keeps water out when closed

What is a broiler style fire box? Ty

[@TexicanaBBQConsulting]

They basically use the heat from the firebox to heat the grill located on top of it

[@joekerrytorres3027]

Is an insulated firebox really needed? I've read where you still have to add logs to it constantly like an uninsulated one, and it doesn't produce a smoky flavor to whatever meat is being smoke.

[@TexicanaBBQConsulting]

Depends ,you might wanna check out those videos… kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3eVYX19drlogZI kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2GloaCdjpmXoJo

[@joekerrytorres3027]

I heard where insulated fireboxes are needed in the states where cold weather is a major factor. I live in Texas. I'm deciding whether or not to buy a smoker with an insulated firebox. I want a smoker that cooks evenly and is more efficient. What are your thoughts? I'm taking you know about both.

[@TexicanaBBQConsulting]

@@joekerrytorres3027 insulated fire box tend to have a better consistency fire wise tend to spike less and burn less wood. About the smoke is all about fire management, beginners usually experience no smoke with insulated and too much with non insulated.

[@ahmondeboxley2950]

Will 4 inch pipe work for a good draft

[@TexicanaBBQConsulting]

Yes

[@fredluden2298]

I really like this pit I just wish it had a collector instead of a reducer. The 90 degree change is kinda tough but in a pipe style pit with a reducer or just a straight pipe I’ve always had hot spots by the smoke stack. IMO reducers are perfect for propane tanks because the rounded end works really well as a reducer. It’s almost like you have both

[@piratelute8934]

I think this guy knows what works best lmao he obviously understands the science and literally builds them for a living

[@traceyevans2757]

Collectors are negligible

[@benjaminberan7645]

Unless you are fully loading the smoker from end to end, a "hot spot" at the stack would not make any difference on the cook. That being said, if the stack side of the smoker is building too much heat then you have an air flow problem. Most of the time I think people are building too big of a fire and having to close the stack damper down too much to lower the cooking chamber temp which will cause a hot spot on the stack side of the smoker. This is the beauty of a properly sized and well insulated firebox. You can build smaller more efficient fires and keep the stack damper most open to allow proper airflow. Another pro tip for fire, smoke, and temp management is: coals for heat and wood for smoke.
