    That was my goal, want it to fit in the garage and be easy to move around. Hopefully the heat shield plate below the RF plate will help control the heat. My legs will never be cold!

    Learned a ton reading threads here. Saved my arse on this first build. My question is regarding my plan tto put the fire box under the tank as shown. Is this a bad idea?

    Thanks guys. I am going to build it as a reverse flow, but just want to tuck the fire box under the tank at one end. Heat/smoke then would flow up and into the chamber created by the false bottom. Only negative I see is the heat on your legs as you stand in front of it?

    Hi there, Theo from southern Michigan. Just getting started smoking. been doing a version of it in a 500 gallon pig roaster for a while, but ready to step up. Building a smoker out of a 200 gallon (i think) propane tank, Wondering why no one puts the fire box directly under one end of the tank...
