    Compact reverse flow

    Here's another model I am building on the same principle. I can get the 20" tubes and 120 gallon propane tanks cheap. So I came up with this model. I cut the head off 1 tank and both head and bottom off the other tank and weld them together. Much easier to get an end plate plasma cut slide the...

    5000 Liter animal recycler

    Coming along slowly as I had to go collect another sister tank identical to this today and will be dragging back another trailer full of tanks tomorrow also. Confused me a bit on the chimney. I thought it was 1/8" thick wall. I would look at it again 10 mins later and no it is 3/16" ...

    Compact reverse flow

    I have not cooked on it personally, but can't imagine it is bad. Has 3/16" for the roof of the fire box as seen above, and air gap of nearly 1" then an 1/8" plate. I am building these commercially, so went with the 1/8" plate. You could always make the RF plate thicker.

    Compact reverse flow

    This one was the first of the design, hence an extra horizontal weld. Now an 1/8" RF plate sits about 2 cm above this, that is removable.

    5000 Liter animal recycler

    Here's a quick sketch I made of what it will look like. It will have 2 small stacks at the back for the smoker/ oven above the fire box. Or I could put the stacks internally near the oven door and a plate that blocks off the upper part between the cook chamber and the chamber above the fire...

    5000 Liter animal recycler

    Look what I picked up for cheap this morning t the scrap yard. 10" pipe 1/8" thick 6.5 meters long with 2 manifolds that will work perfect. I just need to cut the tank head and insert this in and weld it. This is an old grain elevator. being 6 meters long I now have an extra for another...

    5000 Liter animal recycler

    Nope that 1/3 ratio goes out the window. Pretty much a guess as to what will work. I am sure no one really knows what is optimal. I am planning on running a 10" chimney that will hinge part way up for the road trips. Going to try a few different ideas I have for offset cookers. I will...

    Compact reverse flow

    I am ahead of y'all on having a screaming hot reverse plate. Actually the reverse plate is only 1/8" thick. The firebox is a full 360* 3/16" thick, so it has 3/16 then the 1/8" RF plate that sits about 2 cm above the top of the firebox. The piece I cut out of the cook chamber to...

    5000 Liter animal recycler

    Here's some pics of the client firing up the 500 gallon I built the other day. Also I just finished this comercial smoker tonight. About 120 hrs of work in this, finished in UT orange.

    5000 Liter animal recycler

    Not going to insert it at all. Firebox will be 1.5M long x 850 diameter, so should be able to get a raging bonfire in there to feed this beast. Total length of the trailer will be about 8 meters. It's a big bitch. I originally thought the tank was 1/4" but after cutting out a door it...

    Finally getting around to slapping together a 1000 Gallon Trailer. The new style site only lets me select one pic at a time to upload, so no going to be many pics posted. Started teaching some guys at a new shop how to build smokers. This will be by far the biggest smoker in South America...

    33 Gallon Build with Vertical Cabinet - aka "The Copper Pot"

    yes It will work . Or just toss the log in the corner of the firebox then when it is hot drag it on top of the coals to ignite.

    1st Smoker Build - 300 gallon Reverse Flow

    I would probably just cut the hinges loose and take the door right off. The top of the smoker has more waves in it than the bering sea. clamp and weld angle iron to the inside aof the smoker and also another to the top of the door to get it all straight. While the door is off use a bottle...

    Another 120 gallon reverse flow

    Yep , Cut the ends off with a cutting disc on a grinder and weld a plate on there. Much easier to work with than curves which equates to more beer drinking time.
