    my first 250 gal reverse flow

    Thanks smoke-n-G. The funs in doing it and having it work. I would like to find a 500, but around here it's a no go. The best part is you can BBQ with your brother while you're building yours.

    my first 250 gal reverse flow

    Just a couple of up dates. Thanks Bubonehead. The fire breathing dragon graphic you lined out for me came out great in mho. The wood curled up in the sun so I straightened the planks, sealed them with spar varnish, and bolted them down so no more warping! I've been practicing with the old...

    360 gallon reverse flow build

    1/4" for the fire box is fine and 1/8" for the smoker will give you years of happy smoking. And the size is the best quality of your smoker. You can smoke anything in that monster! My firebox is offset from center and works just fine. I didn't anticipate a warming chamber on mine and in the end...

    360 gallon reverse flow build

    Nice start. What's the wall thickness of the tank? This should be a good build to watch. A large fire box like yours will allow you to cook longer without adding more fuel.

    New Kid on the Block

    Sweeet! Got yourself a fat boy. Your father was right   and wrong.  Go big or stay on the porch, and from the looks of your skills so far, not to mention the speed with which you are attacking this project you'll have no problems that can't be solved. What's the diameter of that bad boy? ...

    You have one nice rig there. You put a lot of work into that. Attention to detail makes for a real head turner.

    Reverse Flow for dummies

    Nice rig your came up. Keep innovating. This is similar to my smoker. You might want to extend the plate inside to a few inches from each end and you have a Reverse flow kinda. You have the stack in the right place for an RF of this configuration. I believe that this design uses the fuel more...

    Cleaning my RF Smoker

    I with you gary s, except burning out the inside with the weed burner. Sounds like a good idea that I might try. After 3 or 4 smokes I remove the grates to scrape the reverse flow plate. It gets really burned on grime. I found that a thick build up on the RF plate will insulate the smoke chamber...

    Designing a new Smoker, Please Help!!

    Aluminum has high thermal conductivity which means the heat radiates well from it. I suppose you could build it from the aluminum tank but the welding and cutting - no oxy torch - would be different from steel and stainless. Also because of the thermal radiation you would probably want to either...

    rust

    I have a bucket of olive oil and the day after a smoke I paint the inside with it. everytime. It's not that big a deal and it slows the rust. Also it does not add any contaminates to the smoke chamber.

    My first reverse flow build

    That is one nice trailer set up you have there but it's the propane tank that's really going to set her off. Betcha we won't even recognize her when you get her done.

    under ground tank smoker ideas

    You have a good start there. This one would make a monster of a smoker. Keep us posted with pictures. I'm looking forward to this build.

    First reverse flow 500 gallon smoker build!

    Looks awesome Ryan87. You're making good progress. Can't wait for the Que view. It should be ready for the BBQing season and I know you are.

    Follow my trailer/ smoker/ grill/ griddle/ range build! (lots of pics)

    Nice start Jsoda 17. You're doing fine. Just innovate. That's the way you do it. Run into problems, think them through, post, get input and solve the problem. That was easy! You'll be smoking on that bad boy in no time. A fire box too large is much better than one too small. I found the extra...
