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

    The rails and the main grate is complete... The rails are 1 X 1/2" channel. Solves the grate tipping issue. The main grate rail is flush with the bottom of the cook chamber opening. The grate drags a bit. I put 30# on it and it didn't get any worse. If it does, I will raise the lower...

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

    I do believe I just scored an air tank 18" diameter and 48" long. The next one is on it's way. We will see how this one cooks and I will go from there... Don't know the wall thickness, but he said it was plenty heavy.

    I'll try again, Here's the RF Plate tacked in place...  Dave, thanks for the input, the fit is tight on all sides, but I do plan to use liquids from time to time. So I am gonna go ahead and weld all 127 inches including the dam on the end. The plate will be 4 1/2" below my main grate.
