    My 1st build, a mini reverse flow smoker using a 40 pound propane tank

    Made some more progress, got the RF plate welded in the holes cut, and joined them together, added some legs, still need a chimney and a couple of handles on the air vents and my door latch.

    how to install a grease catch or grease trap in smoker?

    Well, my build is progressing, and after doing a search for "grease trap" and going through 7 pages of stuff I still cant find much. I see a few smokers with a 1 inch pipe and a shut off valve on the bottom to drain the grease, what is the best type of set up? where do you get that shut off...

    My 1st build, a mini reverse flow smoker using a 40 pound propane tank

    Not much progress to report, I done some measuring top/bottom center, left right ect, and marked some lines, and added a stainless steel rod and handle. bending that half inch stainless rod was a job.

    HEEELP!! need assistance figuring out Firebox-to-Cook Chamber Opening

    OK, too easy to add one down the middle. with it only being 9 inches between the expanded metal holders welded to the walls one more down the center will put bracing every 4.5 inches.

    My 1st build, a mini reverse flow smoker using a 40 pound propane tank

    1st I uses aircraft paint remover from Orileys auto parts and a metal putty/scrapping knife, that removed about 80% of it (still was a lot of work), then I used a plastic type paint removing wheel from lowes, it looks like a luffa thingy on a wheel about 1/2 inch wide. the wire wheel in the pic...

    I didn't mean it that way, and what you described is right and what I am doing, what I had read said if you put a vent in the front door to feed the fire and push smoke into the CC, you don't want it too low or if will push ash into the CC. but you are right, not everything people post is...

    HEEELP!! need assistance figuring out Firebox-to-Cook Chamber Opening

     on another note about the FB vents, the guy who gave me the steel cut me a 3 opening vent into the door without me asking with his CNC plasma cutter, according to what I have read it was too big, and with my small box it was almost going to draw air in under the grate, which I read produces ash...

    I think I have a genious envention!!!

    Well I kept running this idea through my head, and it seemed solid, so I gave it a try, IT WORKS LIKE A CHAMP! while it might not be the best for a heavy lid, my smoker is a mini using a 40 pound propane tank so I think it will be fine. I used a grade 8 hex head screw and cut it off. and due...
