Any recommendations on Temp Gauges for the doors of my smoker?
So what temperature graduations should I be looking for? Is there a specific range that's better for a smoker?- imafishingfred

New Guy and this will be my 1st Reverse Flow Smoker Build
I searched and found most builders modify or build to suit their personal likes. My trailer is 4ft wide and the smoker is not centered on it. I off set it to leave room for a wood rack on the back side.- imafishingfred

So I set the 6" ID stack in place and yes it looks too tall to me. I have acquired a piece of pipe that is 8.625 ID and 9.125 OD and run the numbers per the calculator here on SMF and come up with 21.10". I think I like the shorter stack better, but maybe not that short. I figure a little...- imafishingfred

about to buy steel for firebox/warming box and want a second opinion on design
Guess I should have said 1/4" for firebox may be a little thin on a 500 gallon smoker if your using Feldons calculations. Your firebox will be undersized and will be getting much hotter.- imafishingfred

I'm sure you'll get more knowledgeable reply's than mine, but 1/4" material for the fire box on a 500 gallon reverse flow smoker may be a little on the thin side. My brother in law used 3/8" for the fire box on his 500 gallon and his box gets extremely hot. His box is not sized by the calculator...- imafishingfred

Quick questions Dave, is the 43.61 stack length above the smoker or does it include the amount I drop down into the smoker? Also, whats a good depth in from the top or height above top rack to end stack? I intend to cut an angle on the section inside the CC.- imafishingfred

HEEELP!! need assistance figuring out Firebox-to-Cook Chamber Opening
Do as Dave says and read the tutorial again. Ask specific questions about your numbers, but ask about them one at a time. When you clear one hurdle in your head go to the next. Trust me, it worked for me. You can read my thread...- imafishingfred

After going back and forth on the option of using the boat trailer I had purchased or building a smaller trailer, I purchased 3 sticks of 11ga x 2 x 3 tubing and started my frame. I got a pretty good start on it yesterday.- imafishingfred

The thread explains it all, but here's a bit of it that pretty much explains it in a nut shell. Smoker Calculator reasoning The concept for the changes is below....

I too am building a reverse flow but I'm using the calculator here on the forum. I think you may want to take a look and reconsider your calculations. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/172425/standard-reverse-flow-smoker-calculator-by-daveomak-and-others-ready-to-use-rev5-6-19-15- imafishingfred

120 gallon smoker build
Easy way is to measure tank from end to end . Then measure from weld seam to weld seam . Subtract weld to weld from overall tank. Divide the difference by 1/2 and add the result back to the weld to weld length. This is the tank length you want to use. If you look at the sketch, you want 1 end...- imafishingfred

New Guy and this will be my 1st Reverse Flow Smoker Build
Well after taking a good hard look at the trailer I purchased I've come to the conclusion that its way way too big. The frame width (spring center to spring center) is 67". If I put the smoker in the center to maintain the CG, I would not be able to reach the smoker standing on the ground to the...- imafishingfred
