    Space between tuning plates and lower rack

    I am making progress on building trailer mount smoker, and need some advice. Still haven't quite decided, but think I'm leaning toward hybrid design. Either way, i need to figure out the best spacing between tuning plate/baffle and the lower rack. I have read everything from 2" to 10". I'm...

    Smoker build

    I think my biggest concern is weight. My firebox is 1/2", and will weigh in the neighborhood of 600 lbs. The extra weight of the vertical on opposite end would help. My thought was that I could use close the chimneys on the reverse flow end, and open the chimneys on the vertical after my Butts...

    Thanks for your feedback. I may be wrong, but my thinking was,that I could close the gaps in the tuning plates completely, or nearly, and get the same effect as a reverse flow. If i was to add a small vertical smoke chamber on the opposite end as the firebox with additional exhausts w/...

    Thanx meat hunter. Yes it will be a reverse flow, but instead of a solid plate in bottom to direct smoke, I plan on tuning plates. I can close them totally if need be. I am toying with the idea of adding a vertical with additional exhaust chimneys, on the opposite end as the firebox.

    Greetings from the Finger Lakes

    Glad to have finally joined the Smoke ring. Great site lots of info about important stuff. I have built 2 offsets in the past, and both are still in use after 5 or 6 years. I built both from scratch with scrap and no direction or knowledge. As well as a bit of the booze. 1 is a run of the mill...
