    modified triple barrel design

    True on losing some heat but convenience would be nice. From what I have picked up is you put a rack on the bottom and place drip pans which act as a diffuser

    275 gallon RF Flame Smoker Completed

    modified triple barrel design

    Planing on building a smoker. I like the triple barrel design but have a idea to modify it. Would like your opinions. I think by turning the bottom barrel 90 degrees to the top ones will make fueling easier plus it does look cool
