Those are some sweet smokers and even sweeter looking meats! I could eat that stuff every day of the year...

Love that reverse flow idea!

Reverse flow no heat comes in by the fire box it travels 77" under 3/16 inch steel that makes both sides the same temp. -  
Okay, I wondered if it was something like that.  How big is the opening in the floor on the other end?

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

As you see in the picture the grease trap rail is what the plates are welded to almost all the way to the end

So the heat rools up the surface and the draft pulls the heat back accros the food.The opening is probaly about 10"

With a reverse flow type cooker, you get a balanced temperature throughout.  No more than 2-3 degrees of difference in temp from one end to the other and front to back.

Great lookin' smokers guys, HUGE!  I wanna road unit now!

I can't travel more than about 6 feet from my 220v outdoor outlet, but its something I can load  before bed, program to ramp heat, turn on smoke, turn on circulation fan at given times, turn off smoke, ramp heat to soak and turn off when done...all while I'm sleepin' If I do get up and glance out the window, the flashing red/yellow/green lights let me know what process is active. A really loud overheat siren and cutoff switch let me sleep like a baby and dream of...pork and such.  :)

Wow I'm diggin all of these road rigs! And the electric one is awesome too! Keep 'em coming!

Would love to see more on the drum rig. How is it set up inside?

Reminds me of my hillbilly hibachi. An old car rim with a round grill - great for burgers or steak.

Here is my smoker I built it out of a dairy cheese cart. It runs on Propane so it is very portable it has 5 shelves on each side that pull out. My buddy Kevin ( Limbow) will be posting some pics of my smoker and some ribs and brisket that I did. Thanks to "Longbowben" for his great help they turned out SUPER. Pic coming.  Bergie
