I finished rebuilding my smoker a few days ago.

It was getting harder and harder to regulate the fire and heat in the smoker because the firebox was burned out so it was time to either build a new firebox or buy a new smoker. Since I like to build and create things (and it’s much cheaper) I decided to make a new firebox and while I was at it, remodel the smoker into something I’ve always wanted.

So I not only built a new firebox but I turned it into a reverse flow instead of a direct flow smoker.

Since I had to relocate the smoke stack I went ahead and lowered it down to grate level to force the heat and smoke down to the meat.

I built new racks and added a top rack.

This design allows me to use 100% of my grates instead of just 2/3’s of it.

After I got the initial “burn in” to season the whole pit I did my first smoke on it yesterday.

Lamb chops and a lamb roast.

They came out great.

I’m very pleased with how this came out. This thing really puts out the smoke better than it ever did. Can’t wait to do a brisket and some ribs on it.

This thing is a beast now. The new firebox will never burn out in my lifetime. This thing will end up being passed on to one of my kids.
