500 Gallon Reverse Flow heating issues

You asked "How big is the space from the baffle to the rest of the chamber?"

I am not sure I understand your question.

How big is the opening between your FB and CC? It looks to small in the picture. I did a recent build with a 500 gallon tank and have no problems getting the temp up. I didn't go reverse flow.

The space from the plate that makes it a reverse flow and the far end of the smoke chamber.

I will post pics of a 500 gallon I am building this week.   Am using a 9" exhaust (Dave's Calculations) and firebox is close to 100% of Feldons.

FB/CC size is 1/2 way between Feldons and Dave O's.

I was asking how big of an opening you have between the firebox and cook chamber. The way your picture looks it looks like it isn't big enough.

This is how mine looks. The piece of metal is hanging down is a diverter.
