    Original First Smoker Build "Fat Boy"... take 2

    So I started the post below pretty much 2 years ago (wow, time goes by fast with family and work) and somewhere around Summer 2013, after SLOWLY working on it about once a month for a few hours, got busy and put the build on hold with just the CC put together minus ends and most of the plate for...

    250 reverse flow build

    Of course I would look at this right before lunch... Man, I think whatever I eat isn't going to live up to that plate of smoked goodness!

    I'm with Sqwib, I'd go with round... square I think would "catch" more of the food if you were moving it across the grates too.

    looks good so far RW...  looking forward to seeing her finished and smoking/burning!

    But like you said... I think you're on to something with your latest design. Just gotta get it fabbed, tweaked, and tested now!

    propane burner in a reverse flow

    Just to elaborate on my last idea, and using your first image... the green is the removable section while in RF mode and the blue would be the removable plate flipped for the grease drain while in burner mode.

    propane burner in a reverse flow

    Looks good... my only concern is enough space for airflow and RF opening. You could almost just have the RF sections end several inches away (except for maybe a damn at the very bottom to prevent drainage overflow from going in) and maybe also not have your deflector plate solid on that end just...

    propane burner in a reverse flow

    Also to elaborate on one of my ideas... have a standard V RF plate with the middle 3rd removable and have your burner/deflector just above the RF plate. When you want to use the burner, remove that middle section, flip it to ^, and slide it to the bottom of the pipe. Again, you'd need to have...

    propane burner in a reverse flow

    RadioGuy... that's very similar to my original idea! But I understand where RW is coming from in wanting it as simple and complete as possible... but I definitely see the benefit of separate attachments to create a specific unit as a whole. RW, I think we're close to the same page. I didn't get...

    propane burner in a reverse flow

    So if I understand... the damper door is 2" above the top of the 4" opening (6" total) and would hinge into the CC?
  16. thechuck

    propane burner in a reverse flow

    So the FB opening (half moon segment height) and dampner are 6" tall?!? or am I misunderstanding?

    propane burner in a reverse flow

    Do you have "ideal" measurements all figured up already? FB opening (height), RF height and thickness, how far above the burner are the racks, etc...

    propane burner in a reverse flow

    Do you plan on always having the burner hooked up and attached? Do you plan on having a damper or anything to block the FB opening when in grill use? I have a couple ideas that I may sketch up...

    propane burner in a reverse flow

    Actually I take back the design I said (for the most part, still has its uses)... the reason I had it removable was to allow for the gas piping without having an always built in fitting. But you wouldn't need all that cause you essentially already have an opening, the FB. So why couldn't you...

    propane burner in a reverse flow

    I know this sounds a little crazy but here goes... if you're talking about your small smoker project RW, how about having the lower opposite FB end of the CC be removable with the different attachments built in. Various different ways to do this but whats in my mind is having roughly the last...
