This site is not available and I can find no trace of them either. May want to update or investigate their current status.

If you have that kind of Money design your own and have a independent welder in GA. build ti for you. I am not an Offset Guy but I have walked through Kloses Factory and he over builds everything, his gear will last for ever. He was building a vertical offset when I was there Huge cabinet made of 1/4 steel 36 X 36 X 5 feet tall with a traditional fire box. The fire box was insulated.
Great unit

Take the best points of all the smokers you love, get input from the guys here that own, and build you beast

I ordered a custom made one from Russ and communication was great! We actually took it to my first competion and took 4th place in whole hog and this was the first time the cooker was used. Feel free to ask me questions about the cooker.

Zilla, I've been meaning to thank you for putting this list of pit builders together, it really helped me out when I was deciding who to go with back in December and first of January.
Thanks again!

Hey Guys--
Just completed the mini- reverse flow which was fabricated from an old steel forklift propane tank (12D x 20"W) cooking chamber --the fire box is constructed from a small air tank (a donation)10D x 16--It came together quite well but must say that it would have been cheaper to buy one already made up---but--it is done---
Now to the question'---I have been researching the Stump clone's for my next build --i see in photo's the charcoal chute which comes down to the fire box--but can not exactly determine how it is constructed--
I am going to double insulate the unit and skin it with either Purple heart or Yellow heart or Ipe--or maybe a combination---
Any suggestion's on the construction of the coal chute/ fire box combo from someone who has built this prior---
Dimension's would be helpful as well--and a cut sheet would be great--
Kind regards and wish everyone a very Happy New Year and remember--Jesus is the reason for this season---

Check the "Clone builders list"

There are 29 Stump Clone (gravity Feed) Cookers with pics.
I think 2 have drawn plans.

If you ask a specific question you will get a good answer.
