Convert this Army surplus freezer into a BBQ smoking catering machine! On Jimbo Jitsu's Farm House

The plan is to convert this into a smoker and BBQ. I am not sure what all it will take and look forward to any comments! Any help is welcome!

if you are not going to move it around thought about useing fire brick fire box.

if you want A good even heat tuning plates is the way to go.

[JimboJitsu]

I was thinking to maintain 70-270 degree heat maybe a copper tubing system around the bottom insides and a plate sticking out into the center to make the best even heating process. If there is gonna be between half a ton and a ton of meat in it you want it to all cook evenly...

do you weld? is it going to be on A axle or stationary.

[JimboJitsu]

not much anymore, my Uncle has a big welding shop... I hope to trade BBQ...

I was talking with Gordon and the little smoke box he uses in Scotland last 8 hours. Just need to find a reliably controlled way to heat the box now...

currently it is on skids, I do not plan on taking this one on the road. You could cook at least 2 cows in that thing... But I can drag it around with the tractor or my Uncle has a boom truck that lifts it from the top corner rings.

@TheCaptanZ

a guru? is that the product name?

[TheCaptanZ]

think you would need A fire box at least 1/4 the size of the cooking space. but if you really want to control you're heat get A guru. it works of A fan that blows in you're firebox and it comes on when the cooking space falls below tenp. vary cool. no stocking. there about $200.00
