    Where put fan for Vertical RF

    Did the deflector thing early on and it helped quite a bit. That fan approach is what I had in mind and with the thermostat regulator the gas a bit I am hoping it will be better. Starting to use the smoke box more and more and find it has helped as well. Also may look at the upper FB vents...

    Where put fan for Vertical RF

    Hello, Been awhile so I thought I would give you some update. Last mods helped a bunch and have been successful smoking most everything. Getting bottom of box to same temp as top is a chore and takes forever to heat with this much mass. So I did add a pipe burner a few months back which has...

    VRF pipe burner too hot

    Dave,   Thanks for the info.   Will start on rev 2 tomorrow,   I had thought about welding tips but it seemed like a lot of work for that many holes.    I am thinking I may just put a shutoff for one of the legs so I can do a quick warm up and the use the other leg for lower temp control.  ...

    VRF pipe burner too hot

    Thanks much.  I  got some very wrong info.re holes.  I am using a High Flow orifice from a auto changeover regulator for LP bottles.  It will do several hundred K BTU.  The regulator is a 0-10 adjustable however I did try a BBQ low flow (.5) reg but flame out was an issue.    3/32 is doable for...

    VRF pipe burner too hot

    Re Flame Out Protection.  Been wanting to add but have not found anything unless I use a Thermo-couple with a pilot light or re igniter valve.  They are spendy.   If you could recommend something it would be appreciative. Thanks

    cabinet style vert RF temp management

    I use  a mix,   A propane burner from an old BBQ side burner with a Cast iron pan that I add Lump Charcoal to.  When it gets going I add wood for smoke and back off gas.  Just add charcoal as need plus keep wood in pan for good smoke.  I use vent adjustments to try and control heat.

    cabinet style vert RF temp management

    Need some suggestions with Smoker re Temp Control for long Cook times.  I use propane to an old BBQ Burner with Cast Pan.  Start it with Propane and add Lump Charcoal and then add wood.  See Pics re size and vent info but keeping temp even is nearly impossible with 40 degree difference at top...
