    Go big or go home!

    Excellent project. You have the right name for your build. Don't stay on the porch, get out there with the big dogs. Actually, imho, I think if your planning on feeding a lot of people a 500 is the optimal size smoker. What is the diameter? I'll be watching your progress! Dave

    Big Build!!

    hello west tex.  I looked at the picture of the old smoker and it should be put back into service. I hope he gets her back smoking. Here's a picture of the heat shield and you can just see the damper between the firebox and cook chamber also. I made the heat shield a couple of inches short...

    Big Build!!

    Thanks west tex and Gary.  I'm kind of like you west tex, don't mind doing something if it makes since.   I made the firebox (300 gal.) larger than the calculator called for.. I did this to get longer smoke time without adding charcoal. But the results can give more heat to a larger cook...

    Big Build!!

    hey west tex.  Thought I would put my 2 cents in. I've built a couple of center fired and learned a couple of things. They use your fire more efficiently but my first build (a 250 gal.) has uneven heat .I ran the reverse flow plate down hill like some of the other RF smokers and on a center...

    Reverse flow build

    ? on Reverse flow design, Center Feed vs End, Horizontal vs vertical

    Your smoker came out good. It cooks the way you want and that's what is is important. Center fired is the only way I have built a smoker so far. Dave

    novasbc's 250 gallon propane tank build

    Your trailer looks familiar. And yes a propane tank is a little bigger than the rated capacity. This is because you can't fill it completely with propane. Mine is stamped 250 gal cap. on the ASME plate with 272 stamped as total. Dave

    novasbc's 250 gallon propane tank build

    Evening nova. I'll add my 4 cents. I found an old tandem axle camp trailer on Craigslist. I had to look for a while but I just purchased another for $300. It was already stripped down to the floor frame. The reason I suggest this is they will come with electric brakes on both axles and you'll...
