    Exhaust pipe damper

    Just finished my 250 gallon reverse flow and I also brought my chimney down to the grate level. I have not installed a damper yet but, I have been using a piece of steel to act as a temporary damper. I would have thought that closing the damper some would create more heat in the cooking chamber...

    Need Opinnions!??!

    I think that the 210 is the way to go. Using the gas while welding makes for a nice clean weld. I believe the duty cycle is 20 to 30% which is ok. I also think that the 210 will do a 1/4" in a single pass. The problem with flux core wire is that it pops quite a bit and there is more time needed...

    Can I Do It ???????

    Thank you for the quick replies. I still have to season the smoker, I almost have it finished. I will probably do a trial run at home by cutting the butt into thirds and see if it works. If not, then the doggys will get a major treat. If I indeed need to do the smoke while I am on shift the day...

    250 gallon propane tank

    Weld some 2" channel iron "Strong Backs" on the inside of the walls. That will re-inforce the wall and it is cost effective and quick. Hope this helps. Erik
