    How do you slope the RF plate?

    Doesnt Lang slope theirs? The reason i asked about the sloped plate is because ive heard from some pit makers that having the PIT level keeps a more even draft , and that when you have to raise the pit to allow for drainage, its causes an uneven draft because of the toungue end of the pit is raised.

    pros and cons of reverse flow

    I am no expert but i find food off a RF to be much more flavorful. I have heard that the juices from the meat drip onto the RF plate which causes the juices to sizzle and release flavors back into the meat above, creating an extra flavor.

    250 RF Project was Sold before I Started

    Wow, that is a great looking build!. I am about to start my first 250 rf build and am kinda stumped on the weight ratio in relation to the axle. I read somewhere where its 60/40 with 60 being in front of the axle? I cant really tell by looking at yours.

    does anyone use store bought rubs or spice or BBQ sauce???

    ive tried a bunch of different home made rubs and only a few storebought rubs. Emerills oringal essence in the blue shaker is a really good rub on pork butts. And suprisingly Famous Dave has a really really good chicken rub.

    Reverse Flow plate question

    How do yal like to slope your flow plate away from the firebox. I seen where a 1" drop from end to end is standard. if the plate drops 1" away from the firebox it seems to me the width of the plate would need to decrease on the far end the plate. how do yal go about doing this if you have the...
