I'm a little wary of barbecuing too much (as in getting a full-on smoker) because I'm told that it can really attract bears around my area.

I used to do roasts and such on my BBQ with tinfoil wood packs. what I used to do was light one side on low, put a drip pan under the other side and put the roast over the drip pan. then I used one of thoes cheep ovin thermomitors beside the roast and proped my lid open with a rock so there was enough of a gap to drop my temp at the roast to 225.

first time I did a roast this way it was so good, it is the only way I am allowed to do them now. haha

I am also looking at insulating the bottom of the verticle chamber. for cold smokin I would configure it so it goes through the side into the main body, goes to the end, then back over the top into the other section. I still need to be able to get up to 225 in the verticle section for when I do sausages, but I also need to be able to get down to 90 degrees also for doing cheese and other cold smoked stuff.

Steve

that should work if you canget it down to the 90 degrees for the cold smoking. Not that my idear is any better yours may work better only way to tell is to make them.. That is not happening soon any ways good luck.

Last year I had two homeless people try and steal ribs off my barbeque, they were halfway through my yard when I went out outside, the panicked and dropped them, I was ****ed 4 hours into em. Least they coulda done was actually eat them lol.

ya, summer at the soonest, and I will probably change the plans 40 times befor then . I have to buy a new welder as min was ripped off out of my storage locker when I was getting ready to move. So I have to figure out where to buy a new one and what kind I want to get now. then I have to find steel for cheep.

Steve

for the welder there are many places to get one on the cheeper side I belive the toold place just past costco has small mig welders and stick, I like tig welders way more versitile in what you can weld with it. Costs more and is hand fed but you controle every thing I believe the place is called KMG or some thing like that. Any welding supply store will have welders of all sizes and shapes they usely have some on site you can try. the toold house is in vallyview they carry some also.

For the metal down on rod road there is a welding shop Bloat works there I believe he may be able to get you a deal but you can also goto the scrap metal place right there and buy some depending on what you are looking for and if they have it.


You can also try going directly to 3M steel on Mount Paul Way if you buy full sheets and lengths of stock you should be able to buy from them.
