    new RF 38" x 60" build = on a budget

    thx Canuck76,   The only reason I was told to split the bottom grate was ease of getting it out for cleaning or mods. I made my top shelf support to the from removable so I can get the one pc grate out if needed. The helping hand works good- I need to make it look like a grill brush or spatula...

    new RF 38" x 60" build = on a budget

    I did find this from earlier   """"Your last pictures didn't post for some reason. It sounds like you need an upper air vent in line with the CC/FB opening which will allow you to move air through the smoker easier which will help to control temperatures.""""" So does opening up the air inlet...

    OK I guess if you look at like that. It is good. Thx to Dave's RF calculator. I was just trying for the upper / lower temp to be closer so as to avoid rotating meats. I do need to get some gasket material around lower part of doo -. not much if any smoke leaking more for air tightness...

    new RF 38" x 60" build = on a budget

    Well I got the grates in. Had to make the top supports removable. The front and center angle iron supports along with the left side support all come out easily. This was done to be able to remove the bottom rack for cleaning. Yes I was told by my long time smoker buddy to make the bottom with 2...
