    Reverse flow smoker in Lexington nc

    Ok I've stole this from another thread just wanting to keep all my info together So I need a heat shield from the fb into the cc no magical length. Maybe leave it floating to regulate heat The air gap I've read about is from the heat shield from fb to cc
