    Need Help w/ figuring out RF Fuel Tank Smoker/Cooker build

    When figuring the actual interior dimensions of the CC to figure out the actual cu in area, should you factor in the space that's only useable above the RF plate or do you use the entire interior of the tank w/o any of the obstacles (RF plate etc.)

    Chimney/Stack?

    Perfect! I'll stick with my original plan of 4. I can't wait to get started! I just ordered five 3/4x9 flattened steel grates from a buddy who works at a steel shop!

    Chimney/Stack?

    Question about the floor registers: where should I mount them in relation to the flame on the burner? Above the flame? Below the flame? Equal to the flame? And how about the registers at the top? I'm not doing a peaked roof, just a slanted roof from front to back.

    Flame Out Sensor for new Propane Smokehouse

    Hello, I am going to start building my first smokehouse. I'm going to be using a propane burner and was hoping someone could explain what a flame out sensor is and how you install/use it with the burner. I forgot to mention that I plan to plumb the burner to the tank and not use the hose. Mark

    Dutch Oven for wood box?

    I was trying to figure out what to use for a wood box above the propane burner. I had an idea of using a deep Dutch oven and then drilling holes in the lid to allow the smoke out into the smokehouse. Has anyone tried this? Any drawbacks? Thanks! Mark
