    A dumb question from a newbe

    Hello 1961shasta and welcome to the forums, What you are describing is a variation on a conventional offset smoker and not a reverse flow. Nothing wrong with that, but it is not a RF. In a RF smoker, all the smoke takes the long way around.

    Is it REALLY necessary??

    Have to say that I have used my upper air intake in several configurations and have not seen much benefit. It is useful to open it up to temporarily reduce CC temps if things are getting too hot, but other than that I have not seen a benefit. Perhaps that is due to my FB and CC being fully...

    How thick does the baffle plate need to be?

    You can split the difference and go 3/16" which is what I consider the minimum RF plate thickness.

    thickness steel

    A 3/16" Reverse Flow plate will work OK. That is usually considered the minimum, with 1/4" being the standard dimension.

    New Patio reverse flow build

    Per the calculator, you should shoot for a exhaust stack of 36" high. Using the volume calculation, that would be a stack of 1.73" diameter. I am not sold on the volume method of stack design (more on that in another thread some day), and in this case I would settle on 2" diameter at 36" high...

    starting my reverse flow

    Looks good so far. I tell you what, there were days on my build that all I did was measure and contemplate, but it was time well spent.

    120 Gallon Trailer Build

    3/8" will work, but in my opinion it is too thick. It will take longer for the pit to come up to a stabile temp and the thicker metal dampens out some of the radiant heating effect. 1/4" is ideal, 5/16 and 3/16" are OK.

    New Guy and this will be my 1st Reverse Flow Smoker Build

    As for the trailer, it is OK ( even common) for the smoker to be offset to one side. The trailer will still be stabile. Consider putting a wood storage box or other accessories next to the smoker.

    New Guy and this will be my 1st Reverse Flow Smoker Build

    It is totally personal preference whether to use a plenum or put the stack through the top. Usually a plenum is used if it makes room for a wider door or more rack space, etc. The only damper you should have is at the top of the stack to keep the rain and debris out when the smoker is not in...

    My RF Vision

    Not painted yet, getting a few more cooks on it before I paint. Still have not settled on a color. Leaning towards basic black at this point.

    Center Feed RF build

    Really sweet deal! I am surprised that they would take a general 20% off coupon from HF, considering that HF does not sell a comparable welder.

    Coming along nicely. Building a smoker is a great way to hone your welding skills.
