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

    19cm doesn't make sense since the opening from FB to CC will be around 33cm high. I made this drawing, and I'm not too happy that I only have 22cm / 8.6 inches to fit two racks and all my meat. Am I doing something wrong or is this the consequence of having a somewhat skinny tank (31 inch...

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

    Area under the RF plate needs to be 0.19m³ I could really use some help explaining how to calculate how high my RF plate needs to be from the lowest point of the thank. Or is it just 0.19m, so 19cm?

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

    Thanks Dave! :) Also, I have a question about the doors. Some cut them right on top at 12 o clock or 0C. Others cut them a little lower. You would think at 12 o clock you get the most space, but it will be harder to open. A weight on top of the doors will be needed, correct? 12 o clock has my...

    422 gallon tanks - reverse flow build

    I see that some people have their doors at 0C or (12 or clock) and some people have the top of their doors a little lower. I am planning on cutting the doors tomorrow. What are the pro's and con's for each option? When you cut them at 0C I assume you need to have a weight on top, correct?

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

    My fire box need to have a minimum volume of 0.40m³. My RF plate is going to be around 0.77m wide. A firebox of 0.80x0.75x0.75  (0.80 being the side that connects to the CC) would have a volume of 0.45m³. The dimensions of the fire box don't matter as long as you have the minimum volume right...

    422 gallon tanks - reverse flow build

    I understand. The biggest piece of meat would be a beef clod. But mostly pork butts and ribs.

    422 gallon tanks - reverse flow build

    Yeah liking the size. Would you guys recommend two or three doors for a 95 inch tank? I was thinking if I use three, I would probably not need contra weights (if that is correct English)

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

    Thanks Dave. I got confused and was convinced I did something wrong when I started to read other peoples threads on the internet and reading that they were using 6, 7 and 9 inch diameter pipes... Does the thickness of the steel of the pipe matters at all? I guess not...right? I really...

    I understand Dave. I am just trying to figure out the diameter of the exhaust stack I'll need and have some trouble with that.

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

    Thanks for the reply Dave. I was missing the point that I had to divide the numbers. Anyway, I came up with his:             356                ------------------------------            = 36.18 (0.7854x3.54x3.54)= 9.84   Stack diameter:  3.54 inch  = 9cm So if I make my exhaust stack 36...
