    Smoke stack For 250 gal RF smoker

    Do you guys think this will work for smoke stack: STEEL ROUND PIPE 6-5/8" o.d. x 9-ga PIPE BALLARDS.I have been pricing out steel pipe and it is very expensive. I also don't want to waste money on something that is not thick enough and/or won't work well. I would really appreciate your opinion.

    Cutting door from propane tank

    I was thinking about cutting the top section of the door, then welding on hinges, and finish by cutting sides and bottom. Is this a good idea, or is it recommended to cut out the complete door first then install hinges? Thanks in advance for your thoughts, Steve

    Soda blasting verse grinding

    I was going to look at having my 250 gal tank soda blasted but unsure of cost? Anyone know about what the cost would be and if it's worth it over just performing a good grind?

    Fire box question

    I am building the FB for 250 gallon tank smoker and have ran the numbers through the calculator several different ways using different configurations for the firebox size. My question is if there are any advantages for making the firebox a perfect cube, wider, or higher than width? Cheers, Steve.

    Making reverse flow smoker in Atlanta, Georgia

    I'm looking for a tank for a smoker. I have mixed feelings about using air or propane tank. Looking for one I can use for large groups and eventually compitions. What size is recommended for competition? Also want to use for company and customer gatherings.
