Added pic My first reverse flow smoker build

Probably gonna be delayed on working on the smoker a day or two. Woke up this morning and my hip out of place. Need the chiropractors assistance on that one. lol I hope it doesn’t delay the build to many days.

Well huge success I think. Test fire tonight. Took it up to 410 degrees wide open to see if it would go that high. It hit that temp right about 1hr of putting fire in the box. Tires don’t get even 1 touch of hot. I been checking them it’s been burning 1&1/2hrs at this point. I will still put fenders on them anyways just incase. It seems to flow very well I closed the top air intake and it drop 10 degrees like now. Let me know what u guys think.

Ok, that is um wow. :) What a beast! I think the next step is to build a tractor into it so you can drive it around haha, the wheels are already half way there! Really cool though, really cool. :)

I am thinking of make another pull bar with a trailer hitch setup so I could put the 2” ball in my sxs to pull it around.

Or a team of horses?

Ok did the cut out of the name plate. I decided to go free hand with the plasma and do it kinda wavy as it would represent smoke or fire in my thought process anyways. I am digging it tho. Might have to zoom in to see it better it’s not huge wavy but just a bit. Some may like it some may not but it’s also different as most name plates are a straight font.

I did some work on it today almost finished with the door counterweight. It does work perfectly just need to finish welding it up. Will get some pics tomorrow. Prepared shotgun shells for old faithful smoker tomorrow. Queso dip and cheese beer brats will also be added. Gonna also get my garden planted tomorrow. The pic of the door open was a test yesterday also it does open up more. Just the clamps were hitting the back of the CC.
