    My first build, help me please! reverse flow

    Thanks everyone. That is why I am here. I like to LEARN! I am intrigued about the ground clamp comment. Are you saying the clamp is no bueno? Man, if only I could take a welding class. The local community college told me years ago I would have to sign up for a complete certificate and I was...

    Yes, I am using flux core and I am using .035 wire with a .035 tip. Maybe I'll play with the tension a little bit. Thanks everyone. I wish welding came naturally to me but clearly it does not!

    Hmmm, liner? What do you mean? Tension? How do I know if it is right or not? Keep in mind I am 100% youtube (self) taught.

    Nothing a little hydraulic Jack can't fix. All straight and happy again. Next is to weld the bottom on and start the cc. Hopefully I can figure out my welding issues before making welds that will be visible.

    Cooking Chamber too fat?

    Um, my neighbors hate my smoking habit. One day I was lighting the egg. Unfortunately when first lit it can be quite smokey. My old lady neghbor was on her porch hacking and coughing. I felt so bad. The wind was not blowing in my favor that day! Unfortunately, the wind always blows my smoke...

    Hi, my name is Matt.  I have a problem.  I like barbequing too much!  I have had a big green egg for about 3 years but have finally decided it is time for a traditional smoker.  I like the egg for bbq, but am looking for a change.  I found this forum searching for info on building my own...

    My first build, help me please! reverse flow

    I know everyone likes pictures and I've been boring everyone with questions so I finally made some progress.  Hoping to have it done by mlb opening day (april 10) so I can tailgate proper.  Got most of the motor brackets and feet cut off and ground down.  Realized I was out of cutting disks...

    Cooking Chamber too fat?

    I just tore down the compressor I plan to use for my build.  It is a 33 gallon craftsman tank.  Upon turning it on its side, it seems fat and short.  Is this a problem? It has a diameter of 18" and is 33" long.  Thank you.

    I have a few more questions on the calculations as well as exactly what each calculation pertains to.  On my picture, (sorry for the crappy drawing/pic) I have coorelated A, B and C to each area.  Am I accurate as to what each calculation is measuring?  My biggest question is B, the area under...
