    Trailer Mounted Reverse Flow with added Goodies

    Still trying to find a long enough / large enough piece of pipe locally that isn't going to cost more than everything else... Hopefully there will be some in the drop area of the steel shop when I go pickup my stuff tomorrow (framing for the firebox, outside sheet, couple more hinges, expanded...

    Trailer Mounted Reverse Flow with added Goodies

    So, while going over the list of things I need to purchase this week to go forward, I was looking at the length required for a chimney... The calculator says I need 52 inches of 6" pipe, or 30inches of 8" pipe...  if I am going to have the pipe for the chimney a few inches above the lowest...

    Trailer Mounted Reverse Flow with added Goodies

    So, I am almost ready to move along.  I have the flanges and hinges for the doors, and last weekend I converted our offset smoker into a reverse flow.  It took me all day (for cleaning, prepping, and doing it myself).  I also got about 40' of some 3"x2"x1/8" steel tubing to make a work bench.  I...

    Trailer Mounted Reverse Flow with added Goodies

    So, I have been reading the forums, especially posts on how to do the doors.  I have the doors and hinges, and will have the flange material this weekend.  I have the same type of hinges kck.com sells, and I dont see how I get the top flange around it without welding it to the top flange...

    Just got back from a steel shop.  Bought some scrap to practice on.  Also ended up buying some 4" hinges (like on kck.com) for $4/each.  Hope to be able to take the trailer up there next Saturday to pickup some long, and heavy pieces (RF Plate, some uncut flat for flanges, etc).  Fun fun fun:)

    Okay, truck is back.  $3407+ in damage to it (They also blew out the stereo system, had to replace speakers, and the radio itself).  Now to get some money saved again and back to working on the trailer.  I might order stuff for the welder for my birthday (yesterday), and start to learn how to...

    Trailer Mounted Reverse Flow with added Goodies

    I'll prob just get a cheap spray can for now to keep the areas from rusting, and then user the high temp primer after I blast it.  We just got a bunch of rain, and I noticed that some hot slag from cutting out the doors (from the shop) got onto my trailer fender, and caused some rust to show...

    Trailer Mounted Reverse Flow with added Goodies

    I figured I could start grinding down on the tank this weekend to get it pretty (It is going to need it anyway, like where I had them cap the vents, where there's seams from where the tank is put together across the back / side).  If I just take some rustoleum for now and spray it when im...

    I wrote in the affidavit that I will help with the prosecution of the person/persons involved.  I also just put up no trespassing signs, and looking at a camera system for the back yard / driveway area.  Lets just say I am getting ready if they decide to come back when they are out on bail...

    Trailer Mounted Reverse Flow with added Goodies

    They found the truck today...  All Im going to say is that whoever stole it... drove it near the police department of the city they stole it from, and they pulled it over.  When they called me to come pick it up, it was less than 2 blocks away from the City Hall / Police department complex. ...

    Trailer Mounted Reverse Flow with added Goodies

    The trailer for the smoker parallel parked to a brick wall... about 4 inches away, with a narrow alley way.  The officer that did the report asked how I got such a long trailer that close to the wall in that alleyway. Right now, the big deal for me (besides the truck being gone), is that all my...

    Trailer Mounted Reverse Flow with added Goodies

    Well, this project is going to be on hold indefinitely...  I walked out to my driveway this morning, and my truck was missing.  I have a feeling its going to be a total loss, and the insurance coverage wont make things completely right (get me back to where I was in the same type of truck).
