Hello all. I’m going to build a 500 gallon Reverse Flow smoker .... I would like information from those of you who have done so, successfully.
Currently, my tank is 108 inches long and a diameter of 34 inches.
I would like 2 racks (full length) so I can cook whole hogs in summer (only using one rack) and turkeys (2 racks) in the winter.
I will need to reach a chamber temperature of 350-375 ideally for the turkeys, so that’s the temperature I need to achieve.
What is the ideal height and width of the throat plate (baffle plate) along with the length,? What size (dimensions please) shall I build my firebox? I’ve got access to a 10” and 8” diameter pipe for exhaust.
Please don’t refer me to “build calculators”, I’ve been struggling with understanding some of them.
