    What is the best calculator to use for a reverse flow build

    Will post some pictures soon. I have a question about the exhaust stack. My father in law can get a pipe that has a Diamante of 5 or 5.5 inch instead of the 7 inches I needed. Would this be too small? Or can I just compensate it by making the stack taller?

    PERFECT RIBS EVERY TIME! This really works!

    Second or third time I tried the IT method.  It's so weird... everything goes according plan. But an hour after I have wrapped then I check the IT and they went from 190F before wrapping to 180F after wrapping. I used some apple juice, not out of the fridge, at room temperature. This is the...

    Pork shoulder

    I did fat side down for the first time. Had a hard time getting the shoulder off my food rack. A layer of fat got stuck to it and had to pull the shoulder off in pieces. Is this common? I dry brined it for 12 hours, I know 24 would be better for such a big piece of meat but didn't have the...

    Pork shoulder

    Saturday I have a bunch of friends over and decided to make Pulled Pork Sandwiches. My alarm went off at 4am this morning. At first it is a little rough to get up, but once the fire is on I just love it when everyone else is asleep, it's quiet, slowly it's getting lighter out. Once the meat is...

    What is the best calculator to use for a reverse flow build

    Totally have a good feeling following your numbers Dave. We cut the doors out and the FB to CC opening. Working on getting rid of most of the rust in the picture. Unfortunately we measured and made the cut in the tank before i decided to insulate my FB. My insulation will be 25mm thick, the...

    What is the best calculator to use for a reverse flow build

    1) I checked smokerbuilder.com their calculator and everything is pretty close except for the FB to CC opening and Smoke stack. Smokerbuilder recommends a 193 sq inch opening FB to CC, while you (Dave) recommends a 271 sq inch opening (I made a mistake with my tank length and adjusted the...

    What is the best calculator to use for a reverse flow build

    I really appreciate you Dave. It's 4am, I woke up, read your comment and am sitting behind my computer now. I am going to summarize everything and put it on paper.  My numbers were somewhat close except for the smokestack, I messed up somewhere. The difference in numbers because of the 88 inch...
