    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    Since the rack that was in the water / ash pan that pulled out to the right side is now pulling out the front, I cut an opening in the front and added metal framing to support it and allow it to slide in and out.  I also took the two top racks that each covered half the grill area and welded...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    The previous owner who started this project did not pay attention to whether or not things were square or straight.  As a result, it has been challenging to try to get surfaces to line up as all sides of the tank go in and out and the corners are not 90 degrees. The lid has proven to be...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    As you may recall from the first posting, the previous owner had a water pan or ash pan that ran the full length of the smoker and had a rack just above it that sat inside the pan.  I have now shortened that pan, which will be a water pan for me.  It slides out to the right of the cooking area...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    When I attached the firebox to the cooking chamber, I folded the lower portions of the cooking chamber down into the firebox instead of cutting them completely off.  It may cause some increased friction for the air flow, but I thought it was a good way to create more welding surface to connect...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    I found an old well tank of some kind that I turned into the firebox.  Its round shape made for some challenges, but its at least 1/4" thick and should be plenty strong.  It was difficult to weld to over the cold winter months and continued to draw moisture even after being preheated.  I have...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    I was slowly working on the smoker and was even slower to take and post photos.  While working on it last week, it shifted, rolled, and pinned my arm.  It was a strange occurrence as its very stable, but I had the racks out and the firebox door open, so I think the weight was unevenly...

    thinking about building a smoker/grill (275 gallon Vertical ? ??)

    I'm surprised you haven't gotten more information about your build idea.  Here's a link to one that seems to be what you are thinking of. I'm far from an expert, but the idea sounds very feasible. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/185160/another-heating-oil-tank-w-qview
