    500 gallon offset fire box measurement help

    Thanks Dave. So now that the fb is bigger that means the fluke needs to be longer as well correct? I'm using 6 inch tube.

    So based on that formula the closet size to that would be 34x34x34/231=170 correct?

    500 gallon offset fire box measurement help

    Hello there! So I am attempting to build an offset out of a 500 gallon horizontal tank. I have a question regarding the fb. Right now I have a measurement of 36LX24Hx24w. Will this be sufficient or should I go larger? I was going to use half of a 250 gallon horizontal tank, but those plans fell...

    Briskets coming out tough

    Thanks. My smoker actually is about 30 degrees hotter near tge fb. I am trying to get some tuning plates made to better disperse the heat and smoke. I am actually cooking on the top rack right now. I will let you know how it goes.

    Briskets coming out tough

    Thanks for the info. That's what I was thinking. Is there a way to fix this? I know the top is going to be warmer since heat rises, so I'm not sure if I should put the briskets up there. I will try to post pics of the setup today.

    Tel-Tru analog not reading the same as digital ones

    Al, thanks for the response. It's actually a 120 gallon custom offset. I put the 2 digital ones next to the analog (in the center of the smoker at grate level) to see and the two digital were reading the same. Very confusing considering the tel true used to read the same. And they all read 215...
