    Baffle Installation?

    Thanks kindly Dave and Len! Seems like I have been at this forever. Getting anxious about actually trying it out. Hopefully by the end of next week I'll be ready to light er up! We spent two weeks traveling through the Ozarks, Memphis and Nashville areas as well. I sampled as much BBQ as we...

    Baffle Installation?

    Thanks Len. I know what Dave posted, and that helped a lot. I was just concerned about the air inlets. Would the above fire inlets have to be the same size as the below grate inlets? Sorry, I don't mean to be so thick, but for some reason, I am paranoid about all this! lol I have 3" chimney...

    Baffle Installation?

    Guys, I'm confused by the calculator! My CC is only 12" dia x about 32" long. I made my FB larger than is required at 14" w x 14" H x 16" long. If I go by the calculator for air inlets and chimney, it wants to match these to the FB I'm assuming. I don't think I need to go that big on this...

    Baffle Installation?

    Dave, I have only had a day or so to work on this unit last week. I spent most of my time burning out the CC and cleaning all the paint off the CC. I did get the firebox built and it turned out pretty nice. I put the heat deflector in and it extends about half the length of the CC right now. I...

    Baffle Installation?

    Dave, I have a drawing that I would like to show you to get your opinion.  I have a bit of trouble with the math part as well. i can calculate the area and volume of the CC and FB, but have trouble with the segment where they connect. My CC cylinder is roughly 12" diameter by 33 inches long...

    Baffle Installation?

    Dave, That is awesome info you posted there in your drawing! Thanks so much. That answers a lot of questions  . Now, of course I have a couple more! I had not considered the heat shield. I think I saw it in another thread, but this clears it up well. The gap between the roof of the FB and heat...

    Baffle Installation?

    Ok, I finally got back to working on my little reverse flow smoker. My cook chamber is a 32" long and 12" diameter tank. I cut the lid out to open up a quarter of the chamber. My question is regarding placement of the heat baffle. My main cooking grill will be 12" deep by 24" long. This gives...

    First smoke today.

    I'm excited just reading this! I don't even have the dang thing built yet and I'm drooling over those chicken breasts! I gotta get busy and get this smoker build done!

    I am totally new to this stuff!

    Thanks for the advice. I am a little worried about the small diameter, but for a first build, it should be a good experience! I have given up on the 20lb propane tank for a firebox and decided to order some steel plate and build a square box instead. Instead of a plate for the RF, I was thinking...

    I am totally new to this stuff!

    I am located in Mono, Ontario, Canada and all of this "smoker" stuff is totally new to me! I love welding and I happen to have a small tank at my disposal. The main cooking chamber grill will only be 12" deep by 24" long. From what I have been reading here, I will be going with a reverse flow...
