Greetings,

Been reading this forum for months now and decided to go ahead introduce myself.

Newbie to smoking. Previously just grilled.

Designed an offset smoker that my high school student then built in shop class. Smoker is rectangular construction with tuning plates. Used the calculator for sizing and read the forums till my eyes crossed trying to get everything right the first time.

Had a couple of trial runs for burn in and temp control.

Today is the first day with meat on. Fingers crossed it's all good.

Welcome to the ring cbarnesro, looking forward to seeing some pics of your cooks. Smile

I would love to see some pics of your sons work on the cooker I love it when I here about high school students taking an interest in metal work. Very Happy
