    RF Plate Question

    As I am planning out my reverse flow build I have been doing a ton of reading on here an learning alot. So thanks to everyone for sharing. Anyway, I see alot of people talking about putting water in the rf plate to act as a heat sink. Doesn't the plate already do that? Also do you just close the...

    BBQ Fest in Owensboro,KY?

    Did anyone compete in the "backyard" competition in Owensboro last weekend? I was curious cause when I was reading the rules it said that set-up was at 6am and that judging was at noon. I was curious as to how you could get anything done if you can't even set up till 6am.

    SoFlaQuer's finishing sauce

    I just wanted to say I tried this finishing sauce on my pulled pork yesterday. I was already completely satisfied with my pork but this just sent it over the top.

    Preparing for my first build

    yeah that spread sheet helped a ton for all my openings dimensions. now if someone could tell me about how far above the opening do i put my tuning plate and then how far above that should i have my grates, that would pretty much answer all my questions for now if i do decide to go traditional.

    Preparing for my first build

    Im not sure I was clear about the two grates. I mean that there will a second grate above the main one that will have the same clearance as the bottom one vs what you usually get with a circular cooking chamber where the top is usually quite a bit smaller in terms of clearance to the top

    Preparing for my first build

    I am planning on build an offset style with the cooking chamber to be rectangle in shape. the dimensions im thinking are making it 5ft in length 2ft wide and maybe 30" tall. Im thinking by making it that tall I could have two cooking grates with 10" clearance each, effectively doubling my...

    need a 250 gal propane tank!

    thanks JDT..that got me in headed in the right direction. They did'nt have anything smaller than a 500, but he gave me the numbers of about 5 other places I could try. Im considering maybe two builds out the 500.

    New insulated build...

    Thanks for the pics. Im getting ready to start a build very similar just with the firebox on the side. I was curious as to where you got the insulation and after its all said and done do you think it was worth the extra effort and more importantly the money?

    Building a new smoker from scratch

    yeah I have seen that one before..its bad ***! The shape is what I had in mind. Im curious as to y I have never seen a horizontal smoker that is just simply rectangular shaped. This would be a much easier build if it will produce the same results. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
