    260 gal RF/Gas Grill- Combo build

    Great build so far Flippers. I have often thought about building exactly what you are doing but have not because I haven't come up with a design that keeps the burner pipes clean when in wood burning operation. I know my smoker has built up a lot of crud under the baffle plate that would plug...

    New 120 Gallon Build and Grate Question

    My plenum I.D. is 9"x9"x4" I'm not sure how it will work as I haven't run it yet. As long as the plenum is greater than the volume of the 6" pipe.....it should be fine.

    Hi Reccitron, here is an example of what I built this past fall. I'm waiting for spring to arrive before I sand blast and paint.

    500 Gallon Reverse Flow heating issues

    Josh, I plugged in the numbers you gave and here is what I found. Fire box = 68% ............ yours is too small.   I like to be between 130% & 150%, too big is better. 4.5" pipe at 23"      It should be 77" from top of smoker to tip.  way too short. The fire box to chamber opening 19" tall x...

    500 Gallon Reverse Flow heating issues

    Josh, please provide all the dimensions for the tank,   I.D. & length, fire box L, W, H & the opening between the fire box and tank size. It looks like maybe the fire box is a bit small................ I get min 1 1/2 hours of constant temp between loading more wood with my reverse flow smoker.

    Baffle Spacing Question.

      Hi Deezy88   I like my builds to have a fire box at least 130% of what is required. I aim for 150% as a rule. Having room for the ashes & a sold steel wood rack up from the air inlets seems to work great. IT'S OK to be to big........... tooooo small is a common mistake. A properly built /...

    Side to side temp help

    Hi GBMworks, I have a silly question, did you determine the temps at your cook racks using the two gauges alone ??? it may be just not so accurate gauges. I had the same problem with my build, three gauges in the cook area and one in the stack. All were way different. All brand new and zero'ed...

    What is the best calculator to use for a reverse flow build

    It takes my smoker about 30 - 45 minutes to get to 300f from lighting the kindling wood using three oak splits and both vents wide open. My smoker looks a bit smaller than yours....... the door openings are 25" wide. 28" O.D. tank.  4'-7" long not including elliptical heads.

    Grease Drain Questions

    I welded the 2" x 1/4" angle to the top back of the fire box. This worked just fine in my configuration. I notched the angle for 2" pipe for draining purposes. I used 1" angle for the opposite end for support. I then welded in the 1/4" baffle plate in four pieces. I sloped the baffle towards...

    how to install a grease catch or grease trap in smoker?

    I installed the RF plate with 2" angle on a 45 to act as a trough. I have a 2"dia drain pipe to a Ball valve that goes to a pail. This works great on my rig.
