    Wow man thats looking like a sweet smoker. Cant wait to see her finished. Ill be following your build for sure. I like how you cut the fire box into the cook chamber. Is there any reason for this other then to look good and being a stronger join because of slighly more weld. Does your baffle...

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

    Hey imafishingfred. Nice looking smoker. Just wondering if your drain hole in your rf plate is big enough? Ive never smoked before but id imagine with the big volume of cook space you could have quite a bit of drippings. If its just oils probably be fine but maybe bits of meat might block it up...

    Pork butts. And new toy Maverick ET-733

    I have the same thermometer and agree. Its a great thermometer but it is a little tricky to use. I feel as if it needs a few more buttons to make menu selection easyier and the light dosnt stay on long enough for me.

    Plenum size/placement

    Hey bishgeo . Where did you end up putting the plenum? Iam having the same problem figuring out how and where to put mine. Did it work out for you? Iam guessing the plenums job is just to provide a transition for the exaust. from the cook chamber to the pipe. You definitely wouldnt want the...

    planing to build a reverse flow in australia (virgin build)

    Maybe scrap that last post. Seams like a plenum is the way to go. Which leads me to... does a plenum need to be a certian shape? Or volume? Is it pretty much a fancy square box.? I really have no idea. The 90 degree bend idea sounds easiest but from the info i gathered on here i should avoid...

    planing to build a reverse flow in australia (virgin build)

    I have this 90 degree bend that i was planning to use for the stack exiting the cc. Ive just discovered a previous post i think from dave saying that 90 degree elbows can restrict flow. Is that comment refering to home made elbows? Would this bend fine to use? As far as stack placement to the...
