    My First Reverse Flow Build - 125-Gallon Propane Tank (Plenty of Pics)

    Thanks RibWizzard for the help and direction... I got the firebox door cut and flanges on. To bend the flanges for the radius of the tank I marked them every inch... And used the table of my drill press as a brake... they turned out pretty good... Now its off to ACE to see what I can...

    I will drop by my local ACE later and see what they have. Thanks

    Ya know.... I was thinking no, because I haven't needed to get into this little smoker in all those 20 years...   BUT I plan to open this little dude up and converting it to a RF. To do this, Step 1 will be to cut the firebox door loose...  So long story short, Yes I will install the hinges...

    My First Reverse Flow Build - 125-Gallon Propane Tank (Plenty of Pics)

    This was the hinge I was planning on, but if I don't locate hinges today I will move these in and add a short piece of flat bar next to the flange to weld this round bar to. Extending the round bar of course. I've had this old smoker for over 20 years. I cook on it at least once a week with...

    My First Reverse Flow Build - 125-Gallon Propane Tank (Plenty of Pics)

    I like the design and how the flange and hinge worked out. It's just that I will have to actually go out and buy the hinge vs I already have the 1/2" pipe & round bar. I 'm heading out today (I live in the middle of nowhere) so I will drop by a metal supply house and see what they have. I...

    My First Reverse Flow Build - 125-Gallon Propane Tank (Plenty of Pics)

    Evening Dave, Yes this makes sense to me. I was planning to attach the hinges to the flange but I blind welded them to the door. My original hinge design was to weld 1/2" pipe to the chamber above the flange. Then use 1/2" round bar bent 90-degrees to form the moving part of the hinge. I'm...

    There's 2 smokers right there...  The price is right.

    My First Reverse Flow Build - 125-Gallon Propane Tank (Plenty of Pics)

    I like it.. I would rather have low profile hinges anyway. Just my preference. I think the 1/2" pipe will go to handles. I have 3/8" round bar that the pipe will fit over loosely. Shouldn't transfer the heat to the pipe. Or I will use the chipping hammer handle like my other smoker has.. I 'll...

    Got the cook chamber door flange complete. It couldn't have turned out any better. Here's a shot of the backside of the upper flange. (From rear of chamber)  The flange is flat against the chamber. Way Cool!!! Now I gotta draw up some hinges. I intended on using 1/2" pipe and 1/2" round...

    ok on to the next build

    Yes sir.. My 16" smoker is 36" of Cook Chamber and 18" of Fire Box..  BUT I only use the 24" in front of my door of the Cook Box and I built a charcoal basket that is 11"h X 11"w X 10"h, so I don't use all of my Fire Box either. I think the dude will heat up with just a little fire & hold it...
