    Advice needed reverse flow smoker build

    Got the RF plate in and the tracks for food racks. I have a neighbor with a brake that can do 1/4" up to 10ft. We put a 174 degree bend length wise on the plate. We could not do a cross break for center drain because the tank was about 3/8" out of round from one end to the other so I cut the...

    Expanded Steel Questions

    SS is only if you worry about leftovers not being cleaned up and going rancid and contaminating the metal. Or if you serve to the public. Smokers do not get near as hot as a direct fired grill. Temps are no where close enough to kill germs on a burn off. Sorry if encouraging food safety is being...

    Expanded Steel Questions

    yeah If you did stainless the stainless angle is a factor if you weld to mild steel it defeats the purpose and you have a cross contamination issue with the two metals. Like Ribwizzard said rod is a great alternative if you can't do something with your drop cuts of exp metal. I used rod a few...

    Expanded Steel Questions

    I use stainless expanded metal on all my cookers. They are awesome. Easy to keep clean and will last forever. If you use regular carbon mild steel they work great too. Once you get it seasoned it is important to always clean and re oil asap to prevent rust. The more you use them the better they...

I got 2600 lbs spread out all over a 5x 8 trailer with a long tongue single 5000 lb axle all the way the back it pulls...

    offset smoker tuning plates vs reverse flow

    I got a little bit done on the smoker getting ready for RF plate and doors. I decided to go with a 250 gal tank I had for the rounded end. Had to empty the propane and wash it. I cut it while it was full of water and soap. Used cut off wheels and a sawzall. Just got it back from media blasting...
