Hi Lads nearly done my taigen t34/85 with a IBU2U, all I can say lovely kit runs very well and helped all the way by Dave and Ian, just one last thing to finish, how has other tankers rigged up the t34 to a tarr1 smoker? it seems when I shut the top it bends the tubes and cuts of the smoke, any advice more than welcome . glen

Stick a piece of straightened paperclip in the tubing. That’ll keep the tubing open enough for the smoke to work.

Whereabouts did you install the Tarr, Glen? I've got mine perpendicularly between the gearboxes:

• 

Like Jay suggested, there's a length of stiff aerial wire to stop the tubing from kinking when the upper hull pushes it in place.

• 

I have the smoker's tubing attach to the upper hull by magnets (with a foam gasket in between) so it's easy to take them apart.

same as you ruminator between the gearboxes

Good morning,
I notice that the tubing comes straight up out of the top of your smoker. Have you considered using those 'L' shaped tubing redirectors that HL and Taigen use on their smokers? *rummages around for a link*

Painless

I use Flexible Drinking straws,
They are a firm fit,
They come with different flexible sections,
Go for the Longest of the flexible section drinking straws.
And They are cheap and can be easily trimmed to fit.
