no its not but i have cooked on an exact replica. its got a gas fire box below, no need to check trust me it got hot enough. this is the one were looking to build next so we can roast pigs whole and such.
I dont want it tested for how hot, but more about how cool. With that exhaust port so far from the fire box I'm curious how cool it is right there. If its cool enough, you could create another chamber for cold smoking....

That Double barrel is awesome looking.

How about using an old refrigerator? I like the square shape to accommodate more efficient shelving. What do you think, KC?

A refrigerator works great for colder smoker! I have smoked in those many of times, but this project I am trying to do on the cheap/free and I havent found any free fridges yet. Plus a newer friged with plastic on the inside would not be so good. You really need to find an old metal style freezer for a red meat smoker. Cheese and fish, anything will work because the temps are a lot lower.

wasn't somebody on here offering a free fridge?
Either way that's one nice smoker. :drool: :drool: :drool:

Yep, but on the wrong side of the state.
Plus it was a newer aged one, which would be nice for cold smoking, but not for doing BBQ.

92 it has TWO exhaust posts and you dont just rely on exhaust you also rely on fire size :tup:
What you talking about willis?
I know how to fire and temp work and controlling them....
I am wanting to add a cold smoker chamber to the exhaust ports and curious what the temp is when the main cooking area (where I would smoke butts) is at 225*, what the temp is at the exhaust ports where the smoke touches the atmosphere. I figure if the main cooking area is 225, the area at the end of the exhaust has to be less and hoping it's around the 150-180 mark. If it is, then I would extend them a bit, make a 10" cylinder 3 feet long where I could place a few blocks of cheese to smoke them and not melt them. With it extended some and away from the main chamber Im thinking I could get the temps between 90 and 130. I will try and create a drawing/model to explain it, since my wording seems to not be working.

your optimum temps will be fish 90-130, cheese 60-80 so you'd really need to choke the heat down but its doable . but like i stated the temp is what you make it, there is no other answer. wirth smokers trying to make it 100% versatile is tough i know ive made plenty of them that do it all :bash:
