A Question for You Welders
What he said. Definitely take a basic welding class at your local vo-tech. I took a course in the evenings last summer; for $250, I learned a heck of a lot. Definitely kept me from making a lot of expensive mistakes. Incidentally, MIG, TIG, and stick are all types of arc welding. Argon is a...- okiedave

RF Build: A Story in Pictures
I started work on my smoker. Mostly prep work and cutting; in this case, prep work includes "getting 4300 lb of steel off the trailer." (Not all of it will be used for this smoker; I'm figuring roughly 1500 lb when I'm done.) First step: get steel. 3/8" plate: Lots of 3/8" plate...- okiedave

Firebox Design Review and Critique
Yes, I'll set the fire grate about 6" off the lower deck. I also expect the RF plate to be several inches above the firebox ceiling, and possibly running 8" or so of horizontal baffle from the ceiling into the cook chamber, above the RF plate, to prevent the firebox end from getting too hot...- okiedave

About To Start A Build; Ideas/Tips?
I just scored six lengths of 20" diameter x 40" long x 1/8" thick pipe. Thinner than I wanted, but for the price, I couldn't pass it up. I'm thinking of building a reverse-flow smoker with a square firebox. I'll probably look at using 1/4" plate for the reverser plate and firebox, and build a...- okiedave
