I am wanting to add a burner to a 250 Gal Reverse Smoker in the fire box.  I was wondering if anyone has done this.  The reason I wanting to do it is to better control the temperature after the smoking process has been done with the wood.

If anyone has done this and would share the information with pictures it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, RandyA from Palmetto Florida

I think a couple people have done that. I'm sure one of them will be along with suggestions. It is possible though.

It isn't simple and it isn't cheap, but it is both safe and effective.

Found it online. Where else. I was researching furnaces so I can melt some brass chips that have platinum mixed in. I figure I got 2-3 ounces of pure platinum if I can separate it from the brass.
