this is my first post on here and wanted to say hello to everyone.
I'm building my first RAF smoker and wanted something i could move around easier than my previous trailer smoker. I haven't been able to find alot of information on the internet on doing a RaF like im trying. Was going to see if anyone had any recommendations or ideas on anything i could do to improve mine.
Firebox is 17"x17"x17". (Roughly 1/3 the volume of my barrel) and 1/8" thick metal.
I have 1/4" thick by 6" diameter pipe (free) connecting the box to the barrel.
Inside the barrel i have a 1/8" thick metal baffel/water pan that extends from the left and stops about 6" before the right barrel wall. Its is rought 7" off the bottom of the barrel. For my smoke stack i used a 3" pipe that i was able to come across for free also. With that setup my grates should be between 5 or 6" off the baffel plate. Enough room? Ive added a few pics from my build below.
