Gonna slap another smoker together (finished)

Jonnyrod · Last edited by Jonnyrod on Mar 27 2013; edited 1 time in total

Hey y'all, havent posted much but I've been peeking in occasionally and I see the usual suspects are still at it as well as some new ones. Smile

Due to some unfortunate events our cookoff season is right around the corner and I find myself without a rig. So I'm gonna try and remedy that and I only have about 40 days to do it before the first cook. I have some stuff laying around but I haven't even ordered the bulk of the material yet but I'm gonna go for it anyway. My last Hybrid worked fantastic, low fuel consumption, even steady temps, and trophys at all our events last year. That being said I will stay that course.

It took two months but I was able to get the new smoker ready for the cook off. I'm not going to bore you with the build pics but I will include a link to them as well as a couple videos of it in action with food p*rn because it did Very Happy

Jonnyrod, Your cooker came out fantastic. Very Happy

It doesn't look like you "slapped"it together. A very interesting door system you got there. Cool

Besides the cooker looking cool, the food looks darn good. Very Happy

Jonny, what an awesome cooker I love it. Very Happy

The door opener is off the charts. Nicely done my man. Very Happy

Johnnyrod,

I love it!.....I need to have you do up my exhaust stack like that one. Cool

That's my favorite part. Now I need to get some Streetglow too.....LOL

Cheers,
Ed

Thanks GF, the food looked good unfortunately the judges didn't think it was all that great lol.

K.A.M. As always I appreciate it Very Happy

Cat797 those stainless stacks were a real pain but they did turn out cool. The lights were a hit, we pulled a section of fence down so folks could take pictures lol

Pappy, I put the bars on there in case of power failure. The also have flamed grips with Maltese crosses on the ends Wink

Jonnyrod, as is always on your builds, mighty fine work and way cool! Very Happy

You have risen the term " Slapped together" to a whole nother level. I will go the formal route and ask your permission to borrow the door opener mecho scheme for my 30" .375" wall build. Barring permission, I'm pretty much going to swipe it anyway tho. Laughing

I was really not wanting to mess with or clutter my door with a counterbalance, that is totally trick! Cool

Maniac, thank you very much

TrailerBuilder, all I need now are some 20s Laughing

Curtzo, thanks man. The stacks were fun to make. Laughing

Wreckless, check the 3000 lb winch from Harbor Frieght. It comes with a remote handlebar mounted switch. That unit is power in and out and has an automatic brake. The reviews were excellent for it and I ran it through a whole cook off as well as everybody playing with it for over a week without having to recharge the battery. Cool
