    I say put them up top but not over cooking rack. I dont like the stail air a lowered stack produces. Makes the food too dark and ashy

    Standard Reverse Flow Smoker Calculator... by DaveOmak and others... Ready to use.. rev5.. 6/19/15.

    If I took 3 or 4 hyd. Cylinder rods, like 5ft long x 4" diameter, and ran them from inside the firebox where the flames hit them and then under the cooking grates, how much heat transfer do you think they would give?

    Nah, got firebox built but dont want to cut into the tank until I get my head straight about how I want to build it. The jambo style above would work for drippings but would probably burn wood like crazy. Might have to run a 4" pipe from firebox below cooking grate to grab some more heat before...

    Ive been thinking about something like that as well. Except mounting the firebox on the 250 gallon tank , recessed into the end cap, with the top of the firebox at cooking grate level. But instead of cutting the opening from the firebox to cooking chamber on the side of the firebox, cut it in...

    Reverse flow in a food truck or trailer?

    In a food truck, your better off just cooking the food, then load the truck up and go sell it. Even if your planning on setting up in only one location, having a seperate trailer for the smoker is way better that attaching the smoker to the concession trailer. It can always be designed to but up...

    Almost tempted to use a large piece of pipe instead of a plate, that way the drippings go down into the bottom of the tank and should not build up on the pipe too bad. They would not be exposed to direct flame and an access door could be installed on the bottom for when its time to wash it out...

    Not sure yet Dave, got a couple ideals Im thinking about... But its definately something to consider when building a reverse flow. If you plan on doing alot of cooking, those dripping and morsels of food dont flow out the drain like you think they would. My smokers are going from 6:30 am till...

    Wholly Moly Batman! Rolled Steel is not cheap!

    Shop around and find someone that will roll that cheaper for you. Most shops are not good at making a perfect circle, so they charge more. Think about building it shaped like a mail box. Less labor to roll and no need for rounded bottom??? Easier to build. Doesnt have to be so tall??? Just an ideal

    Paying for labor. You got less than $200 in steel there.

    Its crust from the dripping. I ended up adding sheet pans to make it easier to clean but that still is a full time job

    Ive been trying to get on here for a week now. Just now had time. Looking forward to see all the new builds over the last year. Ill be starting another as soon as it cools off a bit. Im going through way to much wood and building up way too much crust on the reverse plates. Time for something...

    But I will say that im going smaller with the firebox on my next build. This is a 250 and has 30" by 30" firebox. With double plated top of firebox they dont need to be so big. This runs all day at 250 with small fire and is up to temp in 30 minutes.
