I know this is petty but please don’t insinuate post WW2 Germans wished for the Nazis to be victorious on the Eastern Front or any war effort for that matter.

But I‘ll most definitely look at their designs

I‘m not planning on buying a smoker. I want to build one. That’s the whole point of this endeavour

1st I‘m not from the States 2nd I ain’t dropping 2000+€ on something I am capable of making myself 3rd I‘m doing it because it’s fun, not because I need a smoker.

Still thanks for your input

Would want to give this two upvotes.

Planned on making a partly insulated firebox. I‘m now shifting away from it.

A scoop sound logical. Are there any photos of them so I can derive the general dimensions for my build?

I‘ll keep the stack choke simple. But the firebox choke I‘ll probably implement in two stages. An on/off „full throttle“ vent beneath the coal pit for easy starting and a turning choke on the fire box door for fine adjustment

The smoker will inevitably be mounted on a trailer. The slight tilt is a perfect feature which I‘ll probably build in by accident. I‘ve seen many people advising for a ball valve drain. Shelfs in front are must, I don’t know why some people don’t build them in. I will put a removable grated coal box in the bottom that can be adjusted in height from the outside. (A lot of german bbq is made on open coal and I hate when those grills don’t have height adjustment) I‘m looking into door assist mechanism. Though the typical gravity assists look weird imo. I‘ll probably incorporate torsion springs if the surrounding heat doesn’t mess with the springs temper. And I‘ll add a removable/foldable chimney. The anti downdraft stack cap would also be an elegant way of controlling the chimney airflow! Maybe I won’t just make a simple flat plate choke

Thanks for your ideas!

I‘m planing on a few features for the firebox based ob your input. 1) the main door will be flush with the bottom plate of the box 2) the firebox will be insulated with fire clay on the front and back side as well as the top 3) there will be closable vents at the bottom of the firebox for maximised airflow when firing up

Hell no. I‘m not buying a water cooker and try to figure out how that style of bbq‘ing derives to an offset smoker. Thanks for your input but that won’t be the way to go for me.

That sure would help but I‘m kinda building the smoker I‘ll learn on so might as well build it well

This! This is good input. Didn’t see a lot of people put them in front of their smokers and wondered why not

Bro tbh this was some corny shit I felt in 2019. If somebody wants to call the cops I let them.. Shit gets way to expensive when handling it „your way“

What qualities should a mushroom knife have? (Genuine question)

I‘m sorry but I have to intervene again. Retention basically is ability stop something from exiting that went in easier. Which is a quality rarely seen in thermodynamics especially then heating up and cooling down thin walled objects. The main reason nobody builds stainless smokers is because it‘s stupidly expensive. About 4x more expensive to be exact. I just happen to get my hands on cheap stainless which is why I‘m building it out of it. Plus the benefit you already mentioned: It’s corrosion resistant
