Does not matter, as long as I know witch one is for,, volume of cooking chamber. I will do a test with same principle on a centre feed reverse flow smoker. Just to have a quick idea of minimum clearance /starting point.
Guess the meat ends up very juicy, easy to keep temperature low enough, with all the insulation? Love the design and the thought gone into it.
Maybe call it reverse gravity feed?
Made a sliding Throat adjuster:
I can see on the welding drops I have made, how many inches wide the opening is.
So I have sort of good control over throat opening, 6 inches wide and max length is 10,5"
Think I will need to reduce the size of opening when I find out my operating area.
Sliding...
To add, oils in tree's are fuel to fire when burning.
So oils will be converted to energy, so fire.
There will be leftover residue, but chemically it will probably be very different.
So I will say the approach of giving a small amount of food for test on the person is the best approach.
Always...
An interesting article about adding extras to the fire..
It talks about Rosemary, Bay Leaves, Grated Coconut, Allspice Berries and Corncob.
Worth a read.
Use These Ingredients to Imbue Your Barbecue Smoke With More Intense Flavor
Think beyond wood chips and charcoal.
Can someone post, diameter of top ring, and air opening height.
Would be interesting to know also height inside to calculate approx cooking chamber size too.
will try to use some of this info to adjust in an center feed build, it will not be a copy but rather an guidance of starting point.
Thank you so much
Hot spot is, on my list of things to look into with center feed, with any material, is a problem issue in this design.
Would like to try both mild steel and SS, to compare on RF baffle.
Warp is a very valid point, will see if I can mitigate some of the issues, then again...
RF Baffle placement still struggling to get grasp on that one.
If I use 173in square divide it in 2 since it's flow in both directions.
I get that the RF plate is going to be an inch above the bottom, sounds so close.
If I double that, or triple, 2"or 3" and restrict area required at the end of...
Plasma Cutter is stuck in covid-19 lockdown in Manila, still between rain showers, short circuit of the cable to the grinder. things are slowly progressing. Used 50 cutting discs so far.
FB looks very big, so read a bit more, I can reduce it's size with 30 % since it's center feed?
Think I will...
Been reading a few post on this forum for at least, 6 months to a year.
Been doing a bit of long and slow BBQ, some smoking. Started with a Weber long way back.
Whole turkeys, whole fish, even had it out in the snow doing BBQ in the winter time.
Done homemade bread, pizzas and so on. Still...
Got the steel plates, already started the cutting :emoji_wink: can't wait.
With my luck I will get the plasma cutter when I'm finished. :emoji_laughing:
The end piece, would you recommend to weld it on the outside?
Or make it fit on the inside, use it to build around, any thoughts?
SS is...
Taken your advice and ordered a plasma cutter, living far away from any proper Hardware store, so it will take some time.
Reason for baffle in SS material is not corrosion, it's its K value. Temperature properties.
So with a baffle in SS more of the heat is transferred in the smoke, less...
Yeah, agree with you there.
SS was for the baffle plate inside only.
Maybe for the racks too, not sure if it is any benefit in using SS there.
Any feedback?
I have been around for some time looking for any tank, propan, air-compressor not possible to find in my area of the world..
Only offer was an hydraulic oil tank, I polity declined that one.
So my plan is to cut steel plates... I don't have a fancy tool room so it will be interesting.
