Success as always, but can a brisket be too tender? It really wouldn't slice, it pulled like pork butt. Wasn't a drop left after the church lunch.

7 hrs into the smoke, about to wrap them up.

Tomorrow is National Back to Church Day and our church always puts on a big event to celebrate. I was tasked with smoking two briskets. I did things a little different that I usually do. 1st the church provided the briskets, so I wasn't able to spend time touching and bending and trying to find...

Naw I graduated from Tech, the pit was built in Kilgore, TX. I can get you in touch with the guys that built it. 

Just to update everyone, I took my pit to a good friend of mine that's a welder/pit builder. After his inspection he said that it's built like a tank, but the air intake on the smoke box was built wrong. They have the opening on top instead the bottom and instead of paying for a new door, he...

I hope these are clear enough, but the question (unless I'm not thinking of something) is not the function of the reverse flow, that works flawlessly. Smoke comes out of the fire box, under a removeable plate, up on the left side, travels around the meat and then out the stacks. Main cook...

It works just like that 2nd pic you posted, it has baffles under the grate

Yes that's correct, the lower hole comes from the fire box and top hole goes into the smoke box. Fire box & smoke box are connected but has a 1/4" thick plate in between.

Yea it does work as a reverse flow, under the meat over the meat & out

I had the pit built by a local group, they have made several pits, but by know means pit builders. It's build damn well. They had never built one with a hot box like mine and when I got there to check it out during Fab they already had the 1 stack on the main chambe. I wanted to be able to smoke...

Inside the warmer box Inside the main chamber Let me know what other pictures you want Stacks

Yes, 6"-8" (I think) circle going from the pipe cook chamber to the smoke box / holding box. I'll take a pic when I get home from work I've left both open during my cooks and smoke comes from both, haven't noticed more smoke coming from the other.

Some will come out the door but it does flow on out the exhaust. It's not gas fired yet, the bottle is there to fuel me fryer, I want to install a gas fire eventually. Smoke flows real good while cooking, I don't think that's the issue, but I'm not sure. When the door is wide open like in...

For some reason I can only tag one pic at a time

Yea I've got through some wood today, I'm using an old fire place grate, using bricks to support it. Wonder if that's blocking air, I can turn them side ways. Reverse flow, thanks, my second cook and I love it, ready to get the heat figured out.
