    How did you come up with your screen name?

    My best buddy, about 10 yrs. older than me had a big inflluence on me growing up. I met him in my early 20's. He had a saying for everything and liked to "mess" with me. Around a campfire with our girls one night the smoke was full time in my face and he told me that I needed to get a "left...

    questions for the smoking God's

    Thanks SmokeJumper. Simple but it closes it up tight. If you only knew the number of overly complicated (design) idea's that went through my head before I landed here!

    questions for the smoking God's

    Do most of you guy's; weld the RF plate in?                                   slope the plate away from the FB to catch grease? I saw that parrish15 did, it seems IIRC that other's do not. I'd think that the tighter (welded) is was, the better reverse flow.

    Thanks parrish, I read that a day or so ago, so much reading to do! I remember your shop pic in "kid party mode", been there! How's it work? I made a lot of assumptions (about smokers) in the past 2 years that it's taken me to get started. Like my FB idea, it's going to be, errr, at least it...

    questions for the smoking God's

    Thanks Dave, I saw this last night but didn't get the abreviations. So it looks like you are very concerned with expansion. 6 spacers with 2 bolts through oversized holes. I would not have thought that for this heat shield that is was that big of a factor. That's why I'm here! Should the RF...

    questions for the smoking God's

    Thanks AL, It does help. I was concerned that it might be hot at the one end (with my goofy design) and wondered if I could insulate or vent it to avoid a hot side. I'm not trying to re invent the wheel here, but I enjoy metal working and to me, building it is half the fun. Just trying to put a...

    Another one,  Is the object here to keep the heat from the firebox away from the c/c, and let the heat from the smoke do your cooking?

    questions for the smoking God's

    This was my first idea. I have since decided to take that tank end that's on top and move it down to the vertical tank and weld it on the left side, cut the face off and weld on a plate for the f/b door. If you haven't gussed allready, the f/b will be in the vertical tank, and the c/c will be...
