Well, after looking through this forum and others getting ideas, I decided to take the plunge and build my first reverse flow smoker. I started out with a 6' 1" 20inch pipe. Then made a couple of trips to the metal shop. I've been taking pictures as I go. Please feel free to give me some recommendations.

Glad I'm still in shape... Pipe weighs 72lbs per foot


I had the pipe cut when I picked it up... 51" Chamber, 22" FB


Pipe is 3/8" thick


Okay... I know I need to practice on my welding.



Got started on the frame

 
I was thinking the same thing, so
I welded the hinges on before I cut the doors out all the way. One of them did pop up about 1/16th.... I'll post more pics later today

Would like to hear how you solve this...
 
Nice, Looking Good    How thick is your RF plate ?

I used one of the endcaps to mark it off. It got me really close. My endcaps were cut on a plasma CNC
 
Update: Didn't like the way the counter weights worked so, I changed them. ...
 
Didn't post a pic of the racks after I finished. ... they'll do
