    My first build fixing to get started....

    I am scratching the idea now Dave.  Just did some math and a 25' pc of 1/2" copper only holds 1/8 gallon of water so this idea is not feasible.  How will shortening the smoke stack above the cook chamber that 5 1/2" effect my smoker Dave??  Kinda worried about that....

    Hey Guys.  Got the Smoke stack installed today.  Set it down into the chamber 5 1/2".  That means I lost 5 1/2" off my height above the chamber.  I had already cut the pipe to the 49 5/8" that the calculator called for so loosing that 5 1/2" down into the chamber might screw it all up.  Guess we...

    Ok... The smoker is now mounted to the trailer frame. Nice and level. Door is fully cut and metal surround is all welded on as well. RF plate goes in in the morning. Got a question so I hope someone chimes in tonight. The open end of the RF plate size needs to be same as the area the RF plate...

    OK...Had a little time so I got my firebox milled and welded up.  Went ahead and took Dave's advice and put a 2" x 8" top vent in for smoke control.  All is 1/4" steel.  Maybe I can attach the tank on Friday.

    Thermometers to mount on my smoker build

    I'm currently building a 120 gallon reverse flow smoker and I want to purchase good accurate thermometers to mount on the door. Which have you guys found to do the best job and where do I purchase them? Thanks

    So the door will be fully cut and good to go this weekend. Do I need to start a fire inside the barrel for this "cleaning burn" before the firebox and rf plate go on or is this cleaning burn done in the firebox? I need some direction here. Thanks Dave

    How can I get the awful residual LP gas smell out of the tank??
