had mine for 30 yrs. your on the right track!
Very generous tutorial. Thanks for the video, guys.
I would name her Black Betty.
Great vid! I'm kicking it around myself and looking for ideas - yours is one of the best I've found so far!
Thank you! We don’t get a lot of complaints. Lol
What a great smoker!
Jeanne cook, Thank you! Should be able to get a little bacon done in it!
Thanks for putting together all the ideas I had in my head into one video
You’re welcome!
Great video 👍! Ron is a master at these kind of projects!!
Ryan
Thanks Ryan! Master is a bit strong! If you have any friends that want one, I'd be happy to help!
Very clever
Another great video, gents. I look forward to trying this out for myself in "my" backyard! lol
Valentino G thanks!
Form Follows Function. Excellent. That generator is about the simplest one I've seen yet. That Sched 40 pipe certainly won't fail. I'd add a stubby chimney, and air vents with dampers in the bottom, however. Otherwise it's a steal of a design for a box that big.
Nice!
Haven't you already named the smoker?....the Beast.
great work. definitely need to go with Washington state volcanoes: starting with Black Butte.
old hickory sounds best to me as some one raised around smokers all my life nevery nicnamed one that and i kinda like it
I like it! Reminds me of an old Johnny Horton song!
The smoker is kinda cool but the view from the lake is stunning. Where is this place? Tnx for the vid ❤❤
Stavis Bay, on the Hood Canal
The frankensmoker haha. Just a question. Are the seals for the door ok for heat as well as their original purpose? I've always wanted to try something like this but worry about things like that.
They are magnetic, so should be fine. My old smoker was made from a warming cart not designed for much heat and were rubber and lasted fine. They aren't subject to much heat as unit is very well insulated, and seals are basically external.
FYI you are the current leader in the naming contest! Lol
Oh nice! That makes sense
Frankensmoker. Hahaha!
Don't forget to propose a name for the creation! Also, if we get enough interest (technical questions), we'll do a follow-up similar to our Making Bacon Part Two video.
Greetings from Thornton Colorado!! I knew you guys were doing something else besides single malt scotch. You guys are always smoking things lol. A few weeks ago Brent got “Air Fired.” I also noticed the axe made a reappearance from a video some time ago. “ I wonder how that got in there” LOL and again at the picnic table. Are any of your neighbors missing? That certainly is a nice smoker. I wonder if my “ex” would fit in there? You could smoke her but not sure if good eating....... LOL. Again great content for the R&B’s Stavis Bay Smoker.
1976DannyG thanks! If you ever come west, look us up!
“Man cannot live on Scotch alone”
I think “Radical Larry” is the only acceptable name for this smoker.
christopher johnson I like it. What’s the rationale?
Brent Woolard Because I think it looks like it could vibrate through walls.
nice video, thanks for making it. Two questions. What is the purpose of the two fans? I read in the comments about the flue chimney. Did you add any vent holes in the bottom of the box or is the airflow thru the smoke generator enough? I've got a box and planning my setup now and got a lot of good ideas from you.
Thanks for your interest! The fans circulate the smoke and heat gently and the only intake is via the smoke generator.
Thanks for watching! My system is simple, cheap, and works great. I have 3 of them now using same basic design. If you have any questions or thoughts, we are happy to try to help!
Hey Ron and Brent, ironic you put this episode out the same day I smoked my 2nd batch of shoulder Bacon. Came out very good, recipe is fine, just gotta tweek a few smoking technique's. I checked out that place in Indiana, for hangers, but they are outta stock, and the one's on Amazon had mixed reviews at best. I'll figure it out. After doing 2 batches, laying on a rack, I can see clearly, It Must Be Hung!!! 3 questions, #1, I didn't see any racks, or rack brackets in this one, and #2, I didn't see a chimney on it, or doesn't it need one? #3, I have an Inkbird 4 temp probe remote, would you drill an extra hole to put the probe's through, or just close the door over the leads?
Names:
Beelzabub
Ronte's Inferno
Smokey The Bear (put a sign on the small one BooBoo)
Chernobyl
Just my mind wandering, lol (and if it wasn't on a leash, it would wander off)
Great episode, Guys !!! Thank You, Mark
I have racks and brackets, but need to get coating off with heat before topping with 1/2x13 SS flattened expanded.
It does have a 4" chimney with damper.
Yes, I would drill a hole.
Last, I would not worry about a bad reviews on a bacon hook unless they break and bacon falls. There ain't much to them!
have you had any issues getting to temp once it is loaded with sausage? I want to do something similar but that single element seems (or so i am told) is to small? just thought I would get your feedback.
Not really, it’s definitely good for that size of area.
Love your Videos Ron and That Hatchet seems to be in a lot of your videos LOL, I have to ask - What's up with that? It's in this one Vid and your Double Brined Smoked Turkey Vid.
A commenter remarked about it being in the background once so we put it front and center just to be funny. Lol
How have the fans held up with them being in an enclosed heated environment?
Very well.
She's a "Beauty".
Any update on the higher temp controller?
This one goes to 248, just look around for higher temperature controllers: Limited-time deal: Inkbird ITC-308 Digital Temperature Controller 2-Stage Outlet Thermostat Heating and Cooling Mode Carboy Homebrew Fermenter Greenhouse Terrarium 110V 10A. a.co/d/8bJ3uLG
Hi, Ron
Very nice!!!
Got 2 questions:
Can be used sawdust ,too?
Do you use the bottom side to fire the charcoal or keep the fire the way you want and how do you do this???
Thank you!!
I appreciate it!!
Vic
Sawdust would probably suffocate the coals. You could try it. The bottom is a metal screen that holds the charcoal and allows air in. We pre-light a few briquettes before we drop them in.
@@my-back-yard What about the bottom fire?
It’s not a fire in the bottom; it’s an adjustable temperature heating element.
To be clear, there are two heat sources:
1. Charcoal in the smoke generator on the outside of the smoker
2. Electric heating element on the bottom, inside.
@@my-back-yard I'm talking about the holes you did it in the bottom part of the Smoke Generator?
Due you have any concerns/worries of plastic/rubber parts melting or giving off fumes/off flavors to the meat?Do you have any type of outlet/vent at the top or is the box pretty much sealed?Name???Brent's BadAss Bacon Box!
Inside is metal, and I tested to 250 degrees with no problems except for plastic plug mentioned in video. Like any new appliance, you should clean it and get it to the hottest temp you will use for several hours. Clean again and check for odors. This insulation is rated at 250. Common since has to be used. Most of my smoking is done under 200. I have a 4"pipe with damper in the top.
@@ronross6946 Thanks for the rapid reply! I saw what looked like a pipe at the top,hence the question.Going to do a similar build now(sorry for being a copycat,lol)Where do you leave the damper set,as I'm sure it affects temperature......Thanks again for sharing!
@@Bowtie41 Glad you are going to build one! You're not being a copy cat! I put these out there to inspire others to give it a try! I leave the damper closed until box gets up to temp, then open half way. I play with it opening and closing depending on output from smoke generator.
You don't exhaust vent the smoke?
Good point! Though you can see it towards the end of the video, we didn’t talk about it. Yes, in the top, with a pointy rain cover.
No fowllow-ups on this video ????
No. We kinda covered it. Lol
