Finally got my contraption in cooking trim. My pride&joy is the Tel-Tru thermo and ThermoWorks Billows


Latest addition is the exhaust baffle. It’s a cut down electrical safety plate. Bolt goes thru a spacer and double-nutted below a spring to provide tension.


Would’ve been simpler if I knew how to weld.
Here’s the Billows attached to one of the intakes:


It’s a fan controlled by the ThermoWorks Signals remote thermometer. It uses the pit probe on Channel4 to maintain set temp.

Here’s the ribs ready to go on
Now, that’s textbook thin blue smoke!

Very pleased with my new smoker!

"WIN" "WIN" "WIN"

That's a dandy and those ribs look awesome!

You should be real proud of that. Very nice

Nice work on the pit! Ribs look awesome. I see a lot of comp cooks using barrel pits. Definitely makes it easier to tote.

Love the ribs, but oh my goodness, that drum is a shade tree mechanic’s dream. You are the Rube Goldberg better mousetrap of the day winner. You know, thinking about it, it’s been a while since we’ve had a real hard core Drummer on the space (apologies to anyone I’m not thinking of), so a really cool thing to have a drum Jedi come aboard.

Tru Tels are great I have the glow in the dark version on Rosebud.
