    Recomendation for sanding down tank?

    Well, when I showed up he was literally using his sandblaster on a grill, with another grill in line for later, (he builds lots of grills) I got my tank out and his sandblaster for some reason took a dump and just kept clogging up. so I'm back to grinding and sanding.

    what to use for a chimney pipe

    from the pics of the Oklahoma Joe Highland the pipe is on the opposite side from the fire box, if you want the benefit of the reverse flow you need to have a pipe on the other end (near the fire box), so the smoke will travel over the food, other wise it will simply go under the food and the...

    New guy with a question about the feldon calculator

    If I am using a 40 pound propane tank, when using the Feldon calculator do I use the box marked "cylinder type cooking chamber" or "tank Cooking chamber" this may sound dumb but a tank can be round or oblong. not sure what they call a "tank". I do realize propane comes in a "tank", and many are...

    A dumb question from a newbe

    I recently joined this forum since I want to build a small reverse flow smoker, (about a 20 gallon size), and I have seen how a reverse flow works, and I was just thinking why not drill a few small holes in the plate that guides the smoke to the other end and helps provide even heat over the...
