Re: Vertical backwoods bws clone build
Got the second set of walls done and welded
This is what the 1" smoke gap looks like on the sides
Here is where I left off... build calls for 7" front plate. . But man, does it looks too tall
In probably going to get hotel water pans for the bottom and this seems too tall to get the pan or pans out. The build in following has this and the doors align with the measurements, so going to sleep on it before I decide and weld this plate on than move on to the doors
Suggestions welcome around this issue:grin:

Re: Vertical backwoods bws clone build
dont want it to be considered advertising for anyone, and not sure of the rules, but I think sharing links may be frown upon- so I will PM you and anyone else can PM to ask.
im thinking (2) 1/1/4'' ball valves for the sides in regards to air intake..y'all think that will be enough?

Re: Vertical backwoods bws clone build
Exterior is all tacked up!
1" insulation all around besides the bottom which has 2"insulation
Drilled holes to weld some support on the sides
Ball valve on sides, one front, one back
Spare crappie magazine I'll incorporate into the exhaust cover
Left off here..mocking up the handles and hinges....doors next and ready for powder coat

Re: Vertical backwoods bws clone build
Off to Powdercoat today! Shout out to my boy JBROOKS who got down on the powder coat. . Textured finish looks great! more to come when the sun comes up
Hinge welded in a fashion that makes the doors removable
Really helps when moving the smoker around:razz:top door is easily 500lb haha
Adding rails
Just mocked up to see how they would look..5"between racks

Re: Vertical backwoods bws clone build
so the 1 1/4 valves are just for air intake? and I'm wondering why the bottom plate is so tall.
But you sure did a good job on this one and thanks for sharing with us

Got the latches on ebay for about 40 for both sets. The buyer I got them from had a crazy shipping charge, so I Emailed and he gave me a lower cost around 10 bux
JBROOKS3 cut me a deal on the powdercoat, so you'll have to ask him or a local shop.

Yes, I figured two would be needed since it's larger. Wanted enough air without having to open the door. So far, seems to be working out.

Re: Vertical backwoods bws clone build
So heat/smoke only travels up the rear wall in this design?
