So I have officially started my latest (and hopefully last) business venture... making custom smokers & grills, as well as "standard" style smokers similar to Yoder smokers. With the vast knowledge, experience, and willinginess to help from the best forum on earth (this one of course. lol), i have decided to use you all as a focus group of sorts... you guys have brought me this far, and i have only scratched the surface of what is out there for me to learn and gather.
My first dilema is what should be on the "ultimate smoker"? with the hundreds of types of smokers in the world, each with pros and cons, configurations and adjustments, it is impossible to please everyone. However, i think it would be great to have some input on this.
my first thought was to make a decent sized trailer mounted unit, or a simple backyard offset. the biggest problem with this is the fact that every other company makes them, and for good reason. simple design, easy to notice, and they work great if taken care of and tuned properly. with that being said, i think there would still be a good market for these and would like to pursue it, along with a few other ideas that we will get into later.
however, for now, if you guys could build a smoker, what are some of the options you would choose? sizes, fuel sources, reverse flow or tuning plates, etc... i am looking for a "money is no object" build here. I have a special goal with this smoker and want it to be at the pinnacle of smoker design and construction. this will obviously be a cornerstone build for me and my new company, so i want it to be at the top of its game.
anyway, what are you ideas? like i said, i have a few other smokers in mind that i would like to make as "standard models", but an offset should be a good starting point.
Later,
Andy
