    You already did the scary part... once the first cut is done, the only danger is from welding burns or dropping something on your foot! Of course, I almost never get out of the garage without drawing some blood....

    New guy building RF smoker

    Welcome Josh, At first I thought you were going to say, "Hi, my name is Josh, and I am a smokeaholic"... You will be!!

    New 100 Gallon/400 Litre Reverse Flow Build Project

    The numbers are spot on, use a 4" pipe 30" long for the exhaust and you are good to go. I would recommend insulation in your climate and one of us will be over for a pint when you get it completed.

    New 100 Gallon/400 Litre Reverse Flow Build Project

    Pinching free information doesn't count as stealing! Long skinny tanks don't flow especially well but we'll run the numbers and post up results.

    Not burning as good as I would like.

    Ever tended a fire on an old pot belly stove? You need a grate and a bed of coals, it looks like your grate is too high above the ashes to keep the logs hot. Dave has posted a picture of the FB door with upper and lower vents on several threads, you need to make look like that.

    Thanks!! I was wondering where you got the springs, they looked like motorcycle fork springs.

    How wide is the tank at the cut? (your chord dimension and RF plate) That is a short fat tank so it will flow air well, your 36" will be fine, but you need to match the width to the RF plate.  It really is a heavy tank, should rust out by 2075.....

    Vent advice (modifications for improvement)

    I would do more of his alternate stack sketch but much closer to the right edge, of the dome line. It should be easier to do, you already have the bevel cut on the stack. Cut it at your 90, trim the stub on the tank, patch, then cut the oval in the dome and slip in the pipe. It shouldn't take...

    250 Gallon Reverse Flow FIRST BUILD!!!

    Looks like you have a great plan, I would almost drive there just to watch your Dad weld! I love watching a real pro weld, you can always learn a few new tricks. Give him a shady place to work, I spent a summer welding on a boat and it makes for a long hot day if you can't get under some shade.
