Vertical offset smoker plans

[Mandel gagnon]

So this is the is the design that I came up with for a vertical offset smoker I got all my calculations from feldons bbq pit calculator. I was thinking of doing an isolated one which would hold the heat better use less wood, and would hold heat in the colder days here in Canada. Constructed from 1/4 in steal on the inside then insulation the wrap the outside with 1/8 in steal. For the cook chamber. Then for the fire box I was going to line it with bricks. (Not dubble wall) then I'm not sure what to use for the base. Was thinking of using square tubing. I have a funny feeling this is going to be a heavy beast. This is my first build so any info from the pros in here would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know if the calculator takes in account if the smoker is isolated or does the calculations go from size of the inside of the cook chamber and fire box. Pics of your build would be greatly appreciated thanks for your help.

the photo looks like it should work just fine. heavy axles and good and may be steel tires if you will be moving it around will need that under the fire box. if you are using 1/4 steel. I am not sure fire bich will be needed. But, you can try it with out then add if need be. That is all I can do as a non pro.

But also on top of the fire box with a smaller gauge steel you can weld on a warmer two too three rack that aluminum serving trays scan slide into bean and such can cook in there you would need a tube from the smoking chamber into it and a stack o top with a damper and even a temp gauge on the door. good luck it look nice and should serve you well.

Another question I have do you have to add another inch for the bricks to get the same inner dimensions
