    Thanks OquirrhMtnSmokr. Sorry I couldn't thank you earlier, I just got back from my yearly deer hunt (successful) in Colorado.

    New reverse flow build

    No, it will not draw better if it was shorter. Up to a point, the taller the stack the better it draws. That point where it stops drawing better is the point where it is so long that the smoke cools before it can exit. You are no where near that point.

    Standard Reverse Flow Smoker Calculator... by DaveOmak and others... Ready to use.. rev5.. 6/19/15.

    Hello bill1, You are correct that the "lower half of the trip" is just heating the RF plate. That is what contributes to the even heat distribution in the CC. The heat is not wasted, and the smoke is not depleted in any way so that the meat does not suffer form lack of smoke. The RF plate...

    new RF 38" x 60" build = on a budget

    Dude, don't change a thing. Those are really good numbers. You're done, now go smoke some meat! By the time you get stabilized at cooking temps, you are at a 4° left/right difference on the bottom and 2° difference on the top. Those are outstandingly good numbers. Grate temp is what matters...

    Drastic temp differences inside CC

    Hello busmania. Lots of people have that problem due to the FB being so close to the RF plate on that side. Here is one solution to your situation: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/179663/rf-build-in-the-works#post_1322735

    Insulate or not?

    Hi odie, and welcome to the forums. In my experience adding things like insulation (and other more superfluous and unnecessary stuff) helps improve your fabrication skills. In the end, with some grinding, sanding and painting, nobody will notice how you got to that beautiful smoker. As to...

    Nice score on the tank. Looking forward to your build.

    500 gallon reverse flow build

    It looks surprisingly good! Just don't tell anyone else that it was thrown together from odds and ends and they will never know the difference.

    reverse flow vertical smoker build.

    Looks great so far. Quick progress as well. I like your twist on the exhaust design. Are you planning to reverse flow all three walls? Keep us posted.

    Feldon calculated 175 gallon reverse flow.

    Nice looking smoker. Very unique firebox design.

    new RF 38" x 60" build = on a budget

    Do not assume that the bottom right and top left will always read the same. Any changes you made (even just adding grates) can change that. Without a therm on the bottom firebox end, you do not really know what it is doing. On 7/12 you posted: Now you have: What changed between then and now...

    Thanks Len, Dave and Gary. Still have a few more cooks to do to learn the sweet spots, but I am very pleased with it. Thanks rabbithutch. I don't name my stuff, so it is just referred to as "the smoker", but suggestions are welcome.

    Finally got it fired up for the first cook. Wire brushed the surface rust off the cooking grates, then sprayed the inside of the CC with PAM to season it. Started with a full chimney of lump and one split of red oak. No issues with the chimney, it started drafting immediately. Temps are...
