    How do you slope the RF plate?

    I sloped mine but i don't think it was worth the headaches. The next one I build will be flat and no drain channel with only a drain pipe at the end. Here is how i did it. I left one side straight that attaches to the drain channel and i cut the other side that rest on the tank in an angle, you...

    Not enough smoke taste

    Not enough smoke taste

    I know that my chimney is about 5" too long but i didn't have any issues the first few time of not getting enough smoke. I guess i'll start there and check my thermometers. The hickory i used is a lot dryer than the oak i was using. Does the dryness of the wood matter that much? If so which one...

    smoker problem meat unedible

    You got it right on the money. Don't start cooking until you have your pit nice and hot.  It takes me over an hour just burning oak to get my rig to settle in.

    building a smoker, with a stainless steel top. Thickness?

    if you are talking about the racks, I used 9 gauge.   Are you sure you need SS to be able to use it commercially because SS is not cheap?

    What would you do with this???

    I'm just about finished building my reverse flow. Its just about the same size as yours with a 22x22x22 fire box. Dave is right the bigger you fire box the longer the chimney will be. which calculator are you using? this is the one i've been using http://www.feldoncentral.com/bbqcalculator.html...

    Trying to find out what size tank i have ?

    Steve another thing to consider is the cuts you can get out of a 8x10 sheet of steel. this  could save you some money. Here is another great tool i found. http://www.handymath.com/cgi-bin/arc18.cgi?submit=Entry

    question for you i believe our pits are about the same size how do you like the placements of your gauges?  I've been debating weather to go with one in the middle or three like yours?
