Hey irvvfsmokin,Just wondering if u have more photos of the fabrication of your smoker. I am currently turning a 1000 gal tank into a reverse flow smoker that will be used for large events I like a lot of what you did with the smoker. Any suggestions of does and don'ts would be great.
I do have more photos. They don't show every step of the process but they might be helpful. Send me a private message with your email address and I will send you some of them. I'll be honest with you, I had no written plans for this build. All I had was 10 years of photos and thoughts in my head about what MY smoker would look like when I finally got to build it. I traveled the entire state of Texas as a Sales Manager for Valspar Paint so I came across lots of ideas. The best thing I did was stumble across SMF. I followed several builds on this website and I asked questions when I didn't understand something. I followed builds from Raptor, Diesel, and Aquasport very closely as they were doing exactly what I wanted.

The removable bracket for the top shelves is probably my only original idea. I wanted to have the flexibility to go for size (whole hog) or volume. Other than that I have taken everything else from these other guys. This website is a great resource and full of great people.
