    That is an option or I could recut it. But I need a min of 7 inches from bottom of cook chamber to top of RF plate correct? And 4 3/4 on the return side is ok? Or does that need to be bigger. I have enough angle iron to make it work. That's a good idea to fix it.

    I don't know...  LOL Im just trying to figure out what happened.  I redid all my measurements and what you came up with should be right but it's not looking like its right.  Im just trying to figure where I went wrong.....

    I was wondering if I just did a half moon would this still work without having to cut another RF plate....  I have the metal to cut another but would rather not waste this piece.  What are your thoughts?

    My measurement must be off somewhere. At 21x38 rf plate I get less than 7 inches from bottom of cc. Is this right? And I get just over 4 at the return end.

    Thanks Dave I was just running all those numbers using that site to get all my messurements and was thinking it needed to be 21 inches after realizing the 7 inches would be right at the 20inch wide mark..  Thank you for all your help!

    Thanks for the advice Dave.  It makes sense now.  So now for my reverse flow plate, using the circle calculator my measurement for chord AB comes to 19.9  Is it ok to just make my plate 20 inches wide and take 7 inches off for length of my over CC since its 43 inches long that would make my...

    Dave thanks for the advice.  Smokingunny actually helped me with my measurements but I will post them on here for anyone to help and chime in.  The cook chamber is 43 inches long with a 23inch diameter.  The FB is going to be 20 inches with the same 23inch diameter.  So any advice on this I...

    Well I don't know how that posted but it did. Lol. Anyways my opening is 5.5 for segment height Ed using the circle calculator. If I'm making a football shape is that still right? Or do I need to make my top cut straight?

    288 Gal Propane Tank RF Build

    I used some chemicals but low and behold they didn't work. I actually started working on with the smell still being there. It didn't go away until today when I built a fire inside of it. I've read a lot that there's no way to get rid of the smell until you burn a good fire in it. I had a pretty...
