    Fire box

    I agree. When I built my RF, had it not been for Dave's help I may have never figured out what all the calculations actually meant.

    New build, bad draw?

    Did you run your calculations through Feldons or here, http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/a/reverse-flow-smoker-how-to-calculate-build-tutorial ? Feldons was not designed to calculate for a reverse flow smoker.

    Newbie smoker build question

    Use this calculator and run your numbers again. The guys here put it together and I think its going to give you the best smoker. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/a/reverse-flow-smoker-how-to-calculate-build-tutorial I had a ton of questions when I started my build and didn't make any cuts...

    fire box opening.

    Try running your calculations here http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/a/reverse-flow-smoker-how-to-calculate-build-tutorial Feldons is not set up to calculate for a Reverse Flow.

    First rf build

    Feldon's calculations are flawed when it comes to building a reverse flow smoker. Use the calculator here, http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/a/reverse-flow-smoker-how-to-calculate-build-tutorial

    Metal Price Quotes. 11 Gauge rolled or Sch 10 Pipe - Big Price difference. Advice Please??

    Might be worth checking with a local trucking company and finding out if and how much they would charge to pickup and deliver one. https://macon.craigslist.org/for/6074290222.html Could be worth it if the price is right.

    New Guy and this will be my 1st Reverse Flow Smoker Build

    I bought a cheap gravity feed HVLP gun from O'Reilly and it came with a gauge. I couldn't say what pressure I had it on, only that it was in the Green area on the gauge.

    Rust-Oleum174 Specialty High Heat. I sprayed without thinning. I applied 2 coats. It took about 2 1/2 quarts.

    260 Gal Build

    I haven't done a warming box but I would think you could do it to open on the side if you wanted. I have another tank and material for another build and may add a warmer box to it. I think I would like for it to open on the side same as my CC doors. My tank is another 250 so I'm thinking of a...

    260 Gal Build

    I should clarify, if you have your smoker loaded, and you have to rotate or flip your meats, and you have to open one door (it remains open) to open the other, you are losing all the heat in the CC. That was a big part in my decision making. If you hinge that middle strip you have the best of...

    260 Gal Build

    Like I said, if you overlap the doors there's one that cant be opened without the other being opened first. Defeats the purpose if you cant open them individually.  You can look at pics in build here and see how I built...

    260 Gal Build

    I too thought of building my 250 with one large door, but was afraid it would be too heavy without some sort of counterweights. I also thought of making one large opening with 2 doors, but to seal them I would need for a seal of one door to overlap the other door. Doing that would allow me to...

    New Guy and this will be my 1st Reverse Flow Smoker Build

    Got my rig sandblasted last week. Turned out great. And painted it myself this weekend. On to seasoning so I can get going with some smoking meats. Still have some things to do but its a working project.

    New guy, 250 gallon rf build

    Mines on the passenger side. I felt if I added a shelf to the side it might be better hanging off towards the side of the road when pulling it.
