    New RF build calculations help

    The material thickness dimension will not matter on the FB overall. It is close enough. The smoke transfer chute has less leeway since it is smaller and the material takes away a higher percentage of your area. Might want to increase the vertical dimension by the material thickness so that it...

    You are making good progress. Doors look like they fit well.

    New build (Budget Build)

    If the door is still warped as shown in post #45, I would recommend cutting off the old hinges first. It may be easier to straighten out the door without the new hinges welded to it. Kind of depends on how it needs to be worked to get it straight.

    My first build, help me please! reverse flow

    Imitation burnt ends from short ribs is such a great idea, and it looks damn tasty! Just now got around to reading the last few days of posts, and seems like a smaller fire (less fuel) was the ticket. Starting with a half chimney of charcoal is also a good way to get up to temps prior to...

    Now that's my kind of competition. Congratulations! Well done.

    That is awesome. I love free, and $100 for that trailer is a sweet deal. Oh hell no. A damper between the FB and CC serves no useful purpose and will restrict flow even when fully open. The benefits people imagine they will get from a damper are better achieved with the secondary upper FB air...

    New 100 gallon RF build.

    I hate it when that happens.

    **New Member = First Reverse Flow Smoker Build from 60 Gallon Compressor Tank**

    Beautiful design and craftsmanship!

    That looks good. I like the idea of having the drain double as the air inlet for charcoal. There is no calculator for this style of pit, but we can take some information from Feldon's and adapt it for your purposes. The area under the RF plate should be at least as big as Feldon's recommended...

    New RF build calculations help

    You have a few options. You can angle the RF plate front to back, or left to right away from the center. You could even have it an inch or so higher in the center and lower on the ends. Think about equalizing the flow on both sides which will give even temps. Having the center the lowest point...

    New RF build calculations help

    Hello TNHollerBach, What you have there is a DPP style pit. While Feldon's is more for a traditional offset, from what I have seen your numbers should be OK. Should breathe just fine. Will your RF plates angle up slightly from the center to the ends with grease drain in the middle?

    Start of smoker build.

    I like that FB design so far. Takes a pretty powerful brake to make those bends, but should be nice to put together.

    Started small, going big

    Sounds like you know what you are doing danijelb. I would only suggest extending your FB-CC opening to a full football (American football) shape so that it follows the contour of the bottom of the tank and leave a section 1.5" to 2" high at the bottom for the grease bridge. The grease bridge...

    Started small, going big

    Hello danijelb, and welcome to the forums. Your prototype unit looks pretty good. I would only note that the firebox seems quite over-sized but that is not a problem. It would also perform better without the horizontal run and 90° elbow in the exhaust. Your commercial unit raises some...

    Oh hell yeah! I also cure and smoke my own bacon. I would recommend it for anyone who hasn't tried it. So much better than store bought and really easy to do.
