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

    The stack is 2" X 6" @ 34" above my chamber. 2X6=12 square inches a 4" stack is 4 X 3.14 (pie or cornbread, I forget) =  12.56 square inches... They are close enough, but I extended it to get the extra cubic inches I needed to draft... Or that's my way of thinking...

    what temps are you guys seeing across your smokers?

    Bruno - What thickness is your fire box & cook chamber?

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

    Got the stack in place. I planned to center it between the end of the chamber and the door for a balanced look, but I mounted it up along side the end plate. This way I could weld it to the plate on the inside of the cook chamber. Much stronger than relying on the top weld only. It IS solid...

    I'll let ya know. I should be seasoning my smoker today....

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

    I thought about that, I have another old smoker with the hot-plate on it, and we never used it. Kinda like the side burner on a propane grill. My wife (boss) is the bean chef and she said no. Need I say more? Been kinda busy putting out fires (so to speak) and haven't started on the build yet...

    cooking today!

    Bitter Chicken??? I'd go to the wood first. You mentioned it wasn't the greatest. Seems it was just not dried completely. Whether not properly cured OR just rain soaked??? Me I don't cook with the bark. I think it imparts a bitter taste as well. But that's just me. Sorry it didn't work out...

    What door should I cut on my new build

    I kinda 3rd these 2 gents opinion. With a longer total cut, you stand a greater chance for leakage an heat loss. BUT I like #2.

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

    I reason I decide on this design is that I thought it would be cheaper to NOT build a fire box and just cut 1/4 of the tank and drop it down and make the fire box out of this part of the tank. It saved me 2/3 of a sheet of 1/4" plate. I kinda made everything work around that. I have the end of...

    I could have opened it up more, but I work primarily with brisket, ribs & yard bird. I don't really do anything too big.. No butts... If I find it too short, I will take a victor wrench to it and open this dude up.

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

    I ended up with 4 1/2" between the grates. I would have liked 5 1/2", BUT I didn't catch it until I had one rail completely welded in place without enough material to cut it loose and move it. I figured I would try it and if it's an issue, I'll cut it out and rebuild later. We will see how it...

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

    The upper grate is done. I didn't get near as much sag in the expanded metal as I did on the main grate. It is 20" deep and the main grate is 23 1/2" deep. It turned out about how I expected it would. I could have raised the upper grate another inch, but we will see what happens when...
