    Big Build!!

    Hey Dave, Reading this again I was wondering if you have any pics or maybe a drawn concept of your 300 gal build.  Mostly the portion stated above "I welded the reverse flow plate level and added a heat shield (1/4" plate) between the firebox and the reverse flow plate".  I'm just trying to...

    Alright ladies and gents, Below are some photos of a smoker that has seen better days. I actually knew the man who built this thing and he cooked on it for years. He had several children and all of them were involved in 4H or girl scouts or boy scouts and numerous sports. With the size of...

    Big Build!!

    Thanks Dragon, I agree. I think this is doable, and if not then I will have failed in style, but I think it will work.  Here is a picture of the two tanks that I have.  I will admit I have been walking in the clouds a bit with all of this with some big dreams.  I am starting to come back down to...

    Big one coming up!

    When I plan large cooks I usually plan about 1/2 pound (main dish) per person, and then like Gary said don't forget all the extras.

    Thanks Dragon....by the way I really enjoyed reading your thread for one of your builds, and I appreciate your input. I'm still giving all of this some serious thought. I do large cooks often enough that I could really use the space that is available in a pit this size. I know it's sounds crazy...

    Food for thought

    I actually had the same thought.  If this thing did start to draw there wouldn't be anyway to control it.  Like you said more draw means more air, more air means more wood. You would feeding a fire eating beast before it was all said and done. I just thought it was an interesting question and I...

    Gary No need to apologize. Thanks for the input. Dave, I completely understand.  Just know that I appreciate everything so far.  I will give this some more thought before I jump into anything.  If I have any more questions I will certainly come here first. Thank you gentlemen.

    Food for thought

    So an Uncle of mine that is in construction had a funny/interesting question.  Has anyone on here ever seen one of these used on a stack to help with draw?  They are used to vent attic spaces and draw out hot air. Thought it might be worth asking since he did.  Who knows......
