    Finally created an account

    I've been reading this forum for 6+ months, debating what I want to do.  I have a vertical water smoker, and a regular barbecue pit.  The VWS works OK, but doesn't have much space. I have a 250 gallon propane tank, that I am planning on cutting in half, and using half of it for a reverse flow...
