    Picked up a propane tank

    So if I do go with a pletum is the aaron franklin style the way to go ..I dont see a lot of reverse flows with the pletums and I still cant tine how big they make the opening

    Picked up a propane tank

    The only thing that I dont like about the plenum is I wanted to build a warming box on top of my firebox ..not sure how that's going to work out with a plenum

    Picked up a propane tank

    Everthing I've been reading says you get better air flow ..I've done smaller reverse flows and had my stack just go straight down and they seem to work fine ..I figure maybe I'll build a plenum and give it a try and see if theres much of a difference

    Picked up a propane tank

    So do you think I will be fine if my end of the reverse flow plate is shorter than my half moon sizing ..I would have to make it 10 in instead of 12 to make sure that my grate cooking grate is above the plate

    Picked up a propane tank

    I made my height of my half moon cutout at 12 in ( a little big because I'm going to put 3 in channel for grease trap) if I put the end of my reverse flow plate at 12 in from the end ..my cooking grate will over hang by 2 and not catch the grease..hope that make sense

    Picked up a propane tank

    That's a good idea mocking up the fire box with card board I might have to try that..I dont have the steel for my firebox yet and I was going to do my burn out this weekend ..seeing 8m not going to be able to weld my firebox on to prevent warpage..do you think maybe tacking a piece of angle...
