Hey guys. I'm from South Africa. I've been smoking in a weber and it's been fun. I want to build an offset smoker for the yard. Maybe 3 to 4 foot CC.
Are there any good plans that someone can share?
I can't get large propane tanks here but I can get the steel rolled.
Any help would be appreciated.
Any pit designs around?

Re: Any pit designs around?
There are plans out there that you can purchase but you really do not need them if you ask questions here and are a decent fabricator you can knock out a cooker in no time.
Here is a link to the Pit Calculator my email is also attached to the help link on it.

Re: Any pit designs around?
Thanks for the info so far. I'm thinking of a reverse flow. Not sure to add a warmer or not.
Do you think a warmer is worth it? Considering it won't be for competition.

I'm thinking reverse flow. Is it better than standard offset? Also do you think it's worth it to add a warmer?

I prefer a regular offset with tuning plates. I would put a warmer if I had the material.
