    My RF Vision

    I think they are fine since they are backups; however, I can tell it's going to bother you if you don't move them..... Soooo, go ahead and put them where they look best to you since everything else on that smoker is over the top!

    Reverse flow or not Reverse flow.

    Has anyone ever built a vertical smoker out of a long skinny tank? Seems like it could work, especially if you could use those Weber round grates.

    Inkjunkies 60 gallon compressor tank RF build....

    Slope of the RF plate can be done inside the cooker or set the firebox up on a half inch piece of plywood or make it higher . Doesn't take much to make it drain.n  With your firebox more narrow, will that mean you can make it deeper to fit your wood? The chimney should be measured above the...

    Where to start with a RF build?

    If you do a search on "baffle plate" it can be a problem, but most guys build smokers that way. That would be a good use for some of that 1/8" material you have. The upper air vent in the firebox helps almost as much since it moves cooler air across faster. But, yes, it will be hotter there, for...

    Where to start with a RF build?

    Does your compressor tank have two domes and a cylinder section in the middle if you look at it from the side? If so, from the right end, go back to where the dome part turns into the cylinder part and make your vertical cut to 4.75 there, then draw a line around the right end of the dome at...

    Where to start with a RF build?

    It is easier if you cut the tank past the dome where it turns back to the cylindrical section to inset the firebox. Then you measure up the height of the cut and draw a line around the dome at that height.You can cut a block of wood that height 1/4"and walk it around with a sharpie. If the floor...

    Where to start with a RF build?

    1/8" is a little skinny for a RF plate. If possible, go thicker since you are depending on that metal mass to keep temperatures stable across the length of the plate. 1/4" would be better and 3/16 if you can't find that. Besides, 1/8" tends to warp like crazy when you try to weld it up...

    Dave is right yet again, and the tool looks like it would work great. Do you have a rosebud for a torch? I agree that heat well make it a lot easier for sure.

    250 Gallon Reverse Flow FIRST BUILD!!!

    I bet you and your brother were happy campers to find out it ran as smooth as it did.  Did you end up cooking a whole hog first cook? You always have time to make it pretty now that you know it runs great. Great Job!!!

    Cool, I like the butterflies, those should work great and a 3/8" RF plate should cook very evenly. When do you think you will get a fire in her?

    That should work just fine, don't forget a smaller upper vent on the firebox door directly across from the CC opening, it will allow you to move air through the smoker easier to help control temperatures. Looking good!
