    New 80 Gallon Reverse Flow Build

    Progress was slow the last few weeks but I got a good burnout done and the chamber sandblasted. I also   got the hinges and firewool delivered along with a nice Thermometer. Photos attached. I lightly coated the inside with high heat paint to stop it from rusting in the meantime. This week I...

    New 80 Gallon Reverse Flow Build

    Thanks for the advise Dave and RG. Not insulating the door and bottom will save me  a bit of time and $$. As I'm in a cold climate ( VT) the double vent pipe will definitely help  with condensate. I might have got ahead of your message RG on cutting in the FB first. Tonight I laid out the cut...

    New 80 Gallon Reverse Flow Build

    I'm working on sketching up the firebox and was wondering if the bottom should be insulated in addition to the sides and top. It will have a ash tray in the bottom.  What about the door, does it help to insulate that also. I am planning to use 1/4" material for the inside and 1/8" for the...

    RG, Thanks- that's a good idea putting the FB on the "sludge side". Nice job on your smoker, looks like your almost there, I like the custom firedoor hinges you made. Where did you get the wheels. I am over and back about deciding whether to put it on an axle or not. I don't really plan to tow...

    New 80 Gallon Reverse Flow Build

    I got started and got the legs and top off along with some of the plugs. Two are welded on there, but one I will use as the drain. I decided to run some water and TSP through the tank ( did about 15 gallons) and discovered there is quite a bit of sludge in the bottom. Some flushed out but there...

    New 80 Gallon Reverse Flow Build

    Ok I see why now it would be different. - Bigger is better for more air flow on RF.- I plan to put in the air inlet opposite the FB/ CC opening and one at the grate level. Here's a picture of the tank and tag. Its a good old classic Made In America.. .
