    60 gallon air tank build

    So here's how I would build it. Firebox 20"W x 18"L x 18"H Exhaust 4" x 26" Intake 3" x 8" (1) The firebox cutout on the cook chamber would be 6.5" up and 7" (or to the weld seam) in from the end ( let me know if there is a huge difference in the 7" or the location of the weld seam, probably...

    60 gallon air tank build

    The appearance of a smoker is a huge part of the build process for me, so with that said I wouldn't build it with a width less than the diameter of the tank in this case 20" In your drawing above you referenced 12"depth and the only potential issue I foresee would be the heat control ability...

    60 gallon air tank build

    Based on the dimensions given and my build experience with 7 reverse flow builds, I would probably go with 4" exhaust pipe for a shorter overall height. Aesthetically speaking and for overall performance, I've noticed if your exhaust is much more than the cook chambers diameter it tends to cool...

    My first build, help me please! reverse flow

    If I recall that tank is probably close to 18" in diameter, I've always used a rule of thumb that my exhaust won't exceed the tank diameter in length. Using that rule you should have a 3.5" pipe at 18" long, my guess is that your chimney may be to long and narrow to promote the temps that your...

    From your last reply, when you add new wood give it 1-2 minutes of burn time where you can see a fire on the new log, before closing the firebox door again. that method seems to work for me to minimize the extra white smoke.
