    Rf Plate questions

    Quarter inch plate weighs 10 pounds per square foot with each additional 1/16" adding 2.5 pounds per square foot. A 24" interior diameter cook chamber will come in at around 70 pounds per lineal foot plus racks, attachments, the firebox, fire grate, ash pan, exhaust stack, RF plate etc. So...

    Can I please get some opinions.

    Drinking? I'm shocked and appalled! :emoji_astonished: Or not. Beer is an essential ingredient to most good BBQ..... And one of the major guy food groups right along with such things as bacon, bacon wrapped bacon, bacon wrapped deep fried bacon crusted bacon stuffed bacon and......

    Can I please get some opinions.

    Good morning from North Carolina. @Flaterate, you will likely get more responses if you amend your title to include what you want opinions on. I don't normally open "clickbait" titled threads and would have passed on this one if I hadn't been cruising the equipment forum. From my...

    Newbie 500 Gallon RF Build from Northern Illinois

    Good afternoon and welcome from North Carolina. You'd be better off posting all those questions in a new post in the Reverse Flow sub-forum of the "smoker Builds" forum. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forums/reverse-flow.201/ There's a ttorial there and a boatload of threads that will...

    Source for Natural Hog Casings

    Ditto. Unless they have changed recently, prices include USPS Priority Mail postage. The website says they have a 6 month shelf life but I've used them without issue at over a year old when kept in the coldest part of the fridge. I prefer the "pre-tubed" casings which come packed in salt...

    Hot Dog advice needed

    Great job. Now, take a lot of notes while it's all fresh in your mind. We've all failed to do that at least once and paid for it at a later date in trying to remember what we did.

    one cooking grate or two in a horizontal tank 19.75" ID?

    @seattlepitboss, I just cut a 20" tank for a reverse flow smoker with a warming box. I plan to cut the door so that the bottom rack is at or even a bit below center and use two racks so we'll be able to compare them when I get that far. I'll put an angle iron lip on the inside of the lower edge...

    Reverse Smoker Build

    @Hockeydudde, if you want more coals and you're using well seasoned wood you might try using half seasoned wood as that will result in more coals and smoke. Dry wood burns faster, hotter and cleaner so it won't give you as much smoke as semi-seasoned wood will and it is harder to run at low...

    Hot Dog advice needed

    @authorized_sausage , My usual MO for hot dogs, Coneys and Franks is to dry them at around 120* until the surface is dry and then use a 5x8" A-MAZE-N smoker maze in the smoker cabinet without heat (or with low heat and the door cracked to keep the heat down for an hour or two) to put a light...

    Camping anyone?

    We've done everything form extended trips living out of big sea kayaks or a canoe to longish backpacking trips. We have an assortment of tents from super lightweight to big cabin tents but if we're not backpacking or canoeing we usually take our camper along. We might do some Dutch oven...

    In 2023, what's the pot of choice for a Smokey Joe Mini-WSM?

    @JckDanls 07 ls, thanks for the info. One option to explore is the charcoal grate from a Jumbo Joe 18" grill. It's a bit smaller than the grate on a Smokey Joe. I dropped the charcoal grate from my Jumbo Joe onto the Smokey Joe and it barely caught the flange on the rim of the Smokey Joe. The...

    In 2023, what's the pot of choice for a Smokey Joe Mini-WSM?

    Ahh. Thanks. There's a lot of reasonably price round gills on Amazon. I'll look later to see it there's one a wee bit smaller than the Weber grill. That might widen the pot choice some and allow a less expensive pot to be used. The older style IMUSA pot with the plain metal lid and steamer...

    In 2023, what's the pot of choice for a Smokey Joe Mini-WSM?

    Thanks @timinmaine . When you say it's tight is that the fit of the bottom rim of the pot with the flange of the Smokey Joe rim?
