    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    Thanks for the information.  I wasn't going to trim the stack down until I determined how the draw through the smoker was working. A quick measurement shows the top of the stack to be 8' 3" off the ground.  I'm going to move the axle to the other side of the leaf springs and may change to a...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    Yes, it'll fit out the door. The photos may be a deceptive, but the stack is only about 39" long. It was that length when I pulled it out of the scrap bin and will need to be cut down about an inch to get the 38.194".  Since its near the top of an already tall 275 gallon tank, I won't be worried...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    Man, talk about stacked! I have some grinding to do and need to fill in a few areas near the bottom corners, but the plenum and 6" stack are in.  I pushed it as high as I could, which meant moving it toward the back of the smoker, so that I could get as much air flow as possible.  The...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    Thanks again for the information and opinion.  I think the last option with the chimney as high as possible and to the rear is the best choice I have.  I think the larger plenum inlet, though it will be angled in a few directions, should allow for more draft than the first two options.  I'll put...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    Thanks SmokeJumper.  I'm still concerned that moving the chimney too much toward the rear will affect air flow.  However, in order to keep it more toward the center of the cooking chamber, I have to lower it because of the angle of the top.  That concerns me as I want to move smoke around the...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    I'm slowly making progress and yes, I know I need to post photos.  I could use some suggestions about how to set up the plenum and chimney.  As the photos show, the first building cut the top at an unusual angle and used 5/8" x 3" bar stock to line the upper portion of the smoker where the lid...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    Thanks DaveOmak. I'll do the lower intake around 58.76 cubic inches (63.525 x 0.925) and upper around 4.76 cubic inches (63.525 x 0.075).  Obviously, these are the ideal numbers and final number will not be that exact.  My firebox is not much larger than required.  The ends are convex, so when...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    I'm slowly progressing on this smoker.  I picked up a 1/4" thick round steel tank that is 30" wide and 33" long at its shortest point, to use as the firebox.  The two ends are rounded, so the volume is greater, but will obviously be decreased when cut to attach to the cooking chamber and when I...

    Need Help With A New Reverse Flow Build 275 gallon

    Again, thanks for the information so far.  My thoughts are to add a 1/4" plate under the current water pan after I shorten it.  Unless someone can offer a reason why not to do so, I think I'll continue it out the right side of the tank and use it to form the top of the firebox.  Given the large...
