    Gary, good recommend. Unfortunately, I did not have the leisure of time on this build.  I will however, spend some time in the spring dialing it in and learning more about it.  I hope to keep this smoker and continue to tweak it for awhile.

    Thanks.  It was tasty. First time smoking on RF offset.  Smoked on oak all night with some lump hardwood charcoal to keep the heat up.  I think I missed something with the air control.  Should have built a larger fire and then toned it down by reducing airflow?  I tried to keep the fire small...

    Well, Pig roast went great.  It was a long, extremely cold night, down in the 20's around 2:00 AM.  Didn't get a lot of pictures but here are a couple.  Pig turned out fantastic but keeping the heat all night was miserable.  Not sure if I did something wrong or if I was just fighting extreme...

    Well, not nearly finished but it will smoke. I messed up my butterfly vent but will modify that soon. Will be smoking 105 lb hog this weekend.  Wish me luck.

    RF Modification help needed

    I have vent holes in the sides now, at the bottom.  I am struggling with the vents for the door but may end up doing like you did.  Will post more pics when I get finished.  This will be finished soon as I am smoking a hog next weekend for my daughters 18th.  Trying to figure cooking time for a...

    Well, I gave up trying to build a firebox to fit the existing layout so I decided to re-mount the CC and built a new FB on the end of the trailer. More pictures to come. Plan to smoke a hundred pound pig this next weekend.

    Reverse Flow Build

    So jealous of the shop.  Will keep an eye on this one.

    RF Modification help needed

    This won't be a true center FB. My intention is to use this as a RF.  The RF plate is only open at the end opposite the stack.  I want to mount the FB as close to the stack end as possible, just on the back.  How do you think this will effect the airflow?  I would like to get consensus on...

    RF Modification help needed

    I don't want to move the whole thing on the trailer so my question was if it was ok to build a new FB on the back side, kind of like a center FB but it would be closer to the end and have a plenum for the smoke and heat, rather than being directly underneath the CC. From earlier comments it...

    Thanks Len. I've run Feldons. Not sure what size the existing FB tank is.  Overall CC size is 36" x 68"  Bottom of the barrel to the RF plate is 10". The link you shared is along the line of what I was thinking.  Seems like my idea may be ok to continue to engineer. Link to BBQ Pit Calculator

    Wasn't getting any help so I thought I would add several pictures Here's the current FB setup.  The bottom of the CC is rusted out It would be difficult to move the entire smoker so that I can install the FB to the end.   Am considering building a new FB that sits behind the CC and...
