Why not start a new thread and make it your own?

Maybe hobo smoker?

haha, remind me of our portable CIP carts at work, a stainless steel drum with an outlet at the bottom and on wheels, we call them the hobo fire pits!

You guys think I should paint the new boat in greens or greys?

You got another new boat?

Are you going to turn it into a UDS smoker, or will you perhaps explore boat painting in the boat section of the forums?

I'll take some pictures. I think I have everything I need...except a fire box

Already got my thermometer, and a bottle opener.

watching you search out a drum is like watching someone pick out a new puppy

I've got the bottle opener but i won't install it until I figure out my paint scheme. I did my fire box the cheap way go back and look at the pics a few pages back. Used an old grill grate and some rabbit cage wire. The only reason I haven't ordered the bbq guru yet is because a.) last time I didn't get to finish my cook on my smoker. The weather made me move it to the oven. And
B.) because its almost like cheating. The damn thing has a fan and computer to maintain temps.I feel like a real man (or "alpha" on this site) sits with his smoker for the entire ten hours and drinks beer while adjusting the dampers.

If you get a new thermometer, I recommend one of the big ones like TK linked to. Mine was $8, and worth every penny. It has a blue section and a red section, the needle is wide, and the face is big. I can glance out the door and see clearly what the temp is, saving me a lot of trips back and forth to the smoker. It's a very nice thermometer.

I got the one TK posted off ebay

[Tomkat]

I like the fact you can see it from a distance

[assateague]

That is a HUGE plus to me. I love that I can see if the temp is right right from the deck. Makes it easier to relax.

[MuddyWaterWarlock]

TK, do you have a link for this thermometer?

[grizz18]

How far should the racks be from the top of the drum assuming I will use a flat lid? I want 2 racks?

[Flightstopper]

X2 hate my thermometers.

[flight control]

Mine are at 4" and 8" from the top, but I'd say it depends more on the size of what you plan on cooking.

[FlintRiverFowler]

I measured up 26 inches from the bottom. I plan to add another rack right at the top once I find a dome lid.
assa- does that thermometer have to be calibrated?

[assateague]

......I don't know. Never thought about it before now. Thanks a lot, Flint.




I just get it to about 215 (right on the border of blue and red), and that's done the trick for me, for ribs, chicken, salmon, and groundhog. I just vary the time, rather than the temp, although I don't know if this is "proper" or not.

I didn't know you had midgets!! You keep yours in the basement, like Jehler, or are they free range midgets? How many head of midgets you got?
