    100# Propane Cylinder Reverse Flow Build Assistance

    100# Propane Cylinder Reverse Flow Build Assistance

    Well, I couldn't seem to get any help so I pressed on. Did my first burn in on my smoker. Still needs to be cleaned up and painted but boy did it work great. It was easy to bring up to temp and get TBS. Below are a series of pics during the build.

One cylinder is 47in and the other 46.5in circumference by 40 inches tall. I'm wondering if by the time I have to compensate for the wall thickness...

    UDS heat deflectors - What are you using?

    Like many said, I use a cheap 16in pizza pan from Walmart.  I drilled holes in it.  The temp is more even across the whole cooking area.

    Is this drum safe for UDS build?

    I'm sure there will be varying opinions but my opinion is yes it is safe.  As long as you do a good hot burn out of the drum. My drum that I just built was used for aviation grease no liner.  It was clean when I bought it for $25 dollars.  I found 4 pallets at the local recycling center that I...
