    Smoker Idea

    I was just curious because I work at a sign company and fab almost everything out of aluminum but sounds like nothing but headaches. Thanks

    Smoker Idea

    How the aluminum would hold up to the extreme temperatures is something I was wonder about. I know it has a lower melping point then steel.  Think i'll stick with all steel builds

    That would be difficult.  I was thinking slotted bolt holes and gasket like you would seal the CC door with. I'm feel the FB would get too hot to build it out of aluminum. It is just an idea I had.

    What are everyone's thoughts on building the CC out of aluminum building the FB out of steel and bolting them together?

    What is the minimum distance between the RF plate and the grate.  In order for have the 61 sq in it puts my RF plate up around 7 in giving me 2 in or less is this going to cause me problems down the road? Thanks Tanner

    Planning a Reverse Flow

    There is nothing wrong with a rectangular shaped CC it is really a matter of preference.  Most people use pipe or tanks because is is a lot less fabrication.  There are lots of knowledgeable people on this site that will be able to answer questions as you get into this build.  Below are a couple...

    No problem I appreciate the help I would actually prefer a square firebox but it's a budget build and the pipe is free So for anyone keeping track so far total cost is $0

    Ok so I have a bad habit of over thinking things so please excuse me if this is a stupid question but if I make A to B 17 1/2" wouldn't that make C a lot more than 3 1/2" or will making it an arc add enough length to reach 17 1/2"
