Building a new smoker-Finished

I have been smoking meat for awhile and keep wearing out smokers. My masterbuilt XL finally bit the dust last week. I cook on them at least once a week and now it's time to make sausage again. I've been looking at the custom smokers but they are $$$$$. I finally decided to build my own that would hopefully last a lifetime. It's 6.5 ft tall,3 ft wide and 30" deep. It's framed up out of 11 ga tubing and will be double walled with 1/4" plate so I can insulate it with kaowool.

Why 1/4" plate. That is going to be heavy. 14ga or even 16ga should be more than sufficient

Do not insulate the cooking chamber box too much

Awesome, can't wait to see it finished....
Had a buddy convert one of these to a smoker, works great...

Looks like the beginnings of a fine project, be sure to update along the way.
Hell if you want to use 3" of industrial refractory grade insulation sandwiched between 1/2" plates, I stand behind your decision on your personal project.

This an old project that is nearing completion. I figured I'd bump and show my progress. This thing is a beast and will find its new home in my outdoor kitchen shortly. It gets painted next week and should be ready to roll.
