[rabbii68]

Hey guys I'm new to this thread lots of good info on here. I'm just trying to get organized to get this smoker build going. Any tips and help would be greatly appreciated as said rookie status!!! I started with numbers and I'm confused already using Dave Omar reverse flow calc or maybe I did it right just checking for opinions...

What are the dimensions of the tank?

 

[rabbii68]

All I'm going off right now was that tag in the picture
Diameter -30"
Length-119"
Water capacity- 325 gal

When I did the calc it was saying my volume was around 360 gal... or am I suppose to measure less than the 119" because the firebox will be connected technically causing shorter length ?? I was just assuming that the tag on it was accurate

Here you go. I never use tank volume on a tag I build off of dimensions.

I hope this helps.
