Offset Smoker Experiments & Cooking.

Worth1 · January 13, 2019

Here are some pictures of experimental modifications and the explanations.
First all of this stuff was just laying around doing nothing.
The two big rotors are cast iron heat sinks acting as mass to store heat in the smoker.
Next the cast iron griddle is blocking direct heat from the fire box.
Last but not least that super thick steel plate lowers the heat introduction to the cooking chamber.
It was scraps from the job site and will help store heat too.
So glad I had a big drill press to drill those holes.
A bonus is it took the warp bulge out of the end of the cooking camber it was so thick and put the fire box back up in line with the cooking chamber.

Now it resides on the porch under cover and out of the rain.

More modifications, testing and adjusting as we travel on this adventure.
I dont copy other people's ideas I have my own or make improvements.
