    DIY Reverse flow smoker won't get hot or sustain big fire - modification/project

    So as for your FB into your CC should look somthing like this. As for the metal inside your FB, it sounds like that parts covered, so disregard that aspect. As long as the inlets are lower or at fire level. The green part on Dave's diagram, is where the cut out should be. In my case the FB...

    DIY Reverse flow smoker won't get hot or sustain big fire - modification/project

    I see the issue with the firebox. If you intend on switching the stack to the other side, that solves that problem. However if you feel you still want the reverse flow, only other thing I could think of, would be to remove the firebox, find your green area as Dave mentioned, then proceed to make...

    DIY Reverse flow smoker won't get hot or sustain big fire - modification/project

    I'm no scientific genius, but I have built 18 smokers now. So, there are 3 problems from your description. First, get rid of the 4.5" pipe from the FB to the CC.

    Building my first walk on trailer smoker

    Cowboy, I had the same issue with my stack. What I did was welded a 6x24" pipe. Then when I get the smoker to where were cooking I add a 4' (close too) section of a chimney exhaust inside the welded pipe. Saves my storage space in the shop. Just an idea I thought you might entertain.

    KCBS / Ace hardware BBQ fest

    After the initial call, I was curious to see just how long "all day" was. Come to find out though, it's only from 10-2. Some smoking anything for a length of time, is obviously out of the question.

    PRIME vs SELECT BRISKET COMPARISON

    That's an interesting comparison. I have done a few of these before and what I have determined was it was all in who was tasting the product. My third test proved this with nothing but BBQ team members. Just a thought but there is certainly a difference.

    Brisket separation question

    For me, I can separate the two without cutting into any meat. But then again, that's just one way to skin a cat.
