    Insulated Vertical Reverse Flow

    Okay I have the frame pretty much done... I used Dave's suggestion with using the rear panel as a stack. Well, kinda anyway.. I'm gonna use part of the rear wall as an integrated stack. Tomorrow I will frame it in with square tubing. I didn't cut the fire box down at 45-degrees on the sides. It...

    Insulated Vertical Reverse Flow

    Dave, I was just searching for a way to make a different stack. I was considering using the 2" X 6" OD rectagular tubing left over from the last build. I dismissed it due to weight issues alone. BUT I like the back panel stack thought. Lemme mull it over... THANKS JckDnls 07, This is exactly...

    Insulated Vertical Reverse Flow

    I found a  ceramic blanket product on McMaster-Carr. RockWool/MineralWool is also another option which can be found @ Lowes/Depot type stores.  I sketched out the design, then plugged the numbers into the calculator and learned that my fire box was way too big. I opted to cut the sides of the...

    Insulated Vertical Reverse Flow

    Thanks Mule, Thanks for the words. The last build was a tad large.... To say the least. I am looking to do something a little different this time. I always thought out side of the box as it were. Maybe I should get back in the box and stay there. We will see where this roller coaster takes me.

    Insulated Vertical Reverse Flow

    Okay, here's what I have so far.. It is like the BackWoods smokers.... The numbers work out. I still have research to do as far as the thickness of the firebox and RF plates. I have located insulation good for 1800-degrees.. Just a little research and I'm ready to begin...

    Insulated Vertical Reverse Flow

    Hi all. It has been a busy year for me so far. But, it's time to get back to building yet again. I learned a lot on my first RF build.... http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/126853/my-first-reverse-flow-build-125-gallon-propane-tank-plenty-of-pics I learned that I would not fill up that smoker...

    Ok, need some opinions on patio size reverse flow.

    Me, I'd work with what I had and what's easily readily available and rest easy in the knowledge that most folks ain't gonna know the difference of an inch or 2 either way...  Just my $.02 I have way too many projects to even think about another build until at least next fall/winter. The summer...

    Ok, need some opinions on patio size reverse flow.

    RW, I like what you are doing. I like the 16" vs the 14". It is only 2", but what a big difference it makes... Hats off to ya for pursuing this project. I remember visiting about it way back when. Looks like you have it well under control. I sold my first RF Build and have had the materials...

    My First Reverse Flow Build - 125-Gallon Propane Tank (Plenty of Pics)

    Yeah, I agree with you on the small splits. I thought about it overnight and I believe you are right on the money..  I purchased "Jeff's Naked Rib Rub" Recipe a few months ago. ----> http://www.smoking-meat.com/jeffs-naked-rib-rub-recipe.html I love it. It is a terrific pork rib rub. I like...

    My First Reverse Flow Build - 125-Gallon Propane Tank (Plenty of Pics)

    Thanks folks...  I don't mind loading the fuel to her. I just want to be as efficient as posssible... I'm tired of smoking the cheap stuff.. (Yard Bird, Ribs) The next fire will bring a brisket up to 200-degrees, the slow way.... Another thought, (hindsight, right)... I'm gonna install temp...
