How is this unit baffled for heat distribution. Beautiful exterior look...needs grease.

"How is this unit baffled for heat distribution. Beautiful exterior look...needs grease."
It had a solid 1/4" thick plate welded in just above the intake from the firebox that runs to the other side of the bottom of the food cooking chamber....stopping a few inches from the other side. (Reverse flow) apparently there is a formula to use to figure out how big the opening needs to be depending on the size of the intake and cooking chamber.
Here is a photo of one welded in on another unit he's making:
He has that one for sale, but I wanted the square firebox.
Edit...figured it out!

Photo of my tank and one of the two heads of the company:
It's short...but it's wide. (Deep)
Door to my fire box...(they are going to remove this and build the box from 12 gauge steel)
Will have a slide out charcoal basket and a slide out ash tray.

Hmmm, now what do I put on the smoker?

Pork shoulder if you have the time (12 hours or so) and like pulled pork, otherwise maybe a couple of pork tenderloins.
Beef prices are in outer space these days. Pork is a relative bargain and oh-so-good!

Yea, brisket is so easy and done many times.
If I can manage to buy a pork butt and resist the urge to cook it up all Pioneer Woman Dr. Pepper Chipotle style, I might actually get around to smoking one. But that is so darn tasty.

This is what I think makes a perfect smoker.... It is a whiskey barrel... I have built many of these over the years. The great thing about using a whiskey barrel is that the smell of the whiskey gets into the smoke and the flavor is wonderful...
I see that smiley there. I've found brisket (and beef in general) much easier to ruin than pork. With a shoulder you brine it, rub it, toss it in the smoke and go take a nap.Yea, brisket is so easy and done many times.
