    Ok, need some opinions on patio size reverse flow.

    I think k I was still asleep this morning I guess you would only get 1 roll from the sheet so that wouldn't really be cost effective sorry I wasn't thinking it was too early in the morning lol

    Ok, need some opinions on patio size reverse flow.

    You can buy a 4 x 8 sheet of 3/16 for $200 and get 2 pieces 48 inch x 30 inch diameter roll another sheet would get the circles with material leftover a steel shop with a plate roll should shear and roll it for about $75 if your going to produce them to sell you can still use some size of pipe...

    gas cooker exhaust

    This one has been running trouble free for almost 14 years now with the hatch closed and only two 4 x 2 fresh air vents in the back

    gas cooker exhaust

    Of all the gas cookers I have built the best was learning to make a good venturi. That is where the fresh air mix is critical and get the distance to the first hole right so the air has time to mix with the gas before it burns. I promise you that's your problem. Talk to Tejas Smokers in Texas...

    My first reverse flow trailer build

    Maybe you could do a small firebox under it and exhaust it separate so you would just have heat.

    Hard to say how that's gonna work out . I did mine above my firebox and just put a little slide vent for more heat and I get a little smoke. You may be able to put 2 or 3 small vents from your cook chamber but you will get smoke. I hope you work it out.

    yes you can click on the photo of the fire box and enlarge  it to see. I turned the angle so one leg butted up to the wall of the firebox and it looks like a channel shape its really strong. I framed the inside of the door with tube and it fits in that angle when its closed for a positive seal...

    I for got to tell you also I put a damper on the FB where the half moon is cut out.  It swings into the box between the FB and CC. This seems to be a big help in controlling the heat between the CC and warmer box. After I had the CC up to temp and had some good coals and fire I could rotate that...

    It did really good when we ran it. The Fire box is double walled on the sides with an 1 1/2  space and 1/4 inch plates the top plate that separates the FB and warmer box is just a single 1/4 inch plate seems to heat just fine. I framed an angle in the fire box the prevent warping and used a 1...

    Oh ok. The warmer box is heated by the fire underneath and I have 6 holes 13/16 dia  in groups of 3 with a slide to open and close them. The flues and dampers on top are for the warmer only. Between playing with the flues on top and the small vent inlets open or closed I can run it from 190 to...

    you can get good ideas for counter weight design from looking at Gator Pit smokers and Pitts by Klose they both have nice ones. I am not saying to copy it but they are helpful to look at

    275 gallon build

    If you are talking about the burners you can drill the same size hole up to about 5-0 after that it does help if  they are 1/16 bigger it depends on your gas inlet and venturi fresh air system and diameter of pipe There is a company in texas you can buy the venturis from and they can calculate...
