I have looked at, pretty much, every one of the the threads on here about building a reverse flow. I am a little hesitant to show you guys my build, because I think there are so many on here that put mine to shame!!! Nevertheless, I am going to share it with y'all. I have already completed this build, but I have a number of pics to post. Let me know what you guys think. This is my first build and I would gladly accept any advice or criticism (the constructive kind).
I started with a 110 gallon tank. Its 5'x2'. I filled it with water and Dawn liquid soap, let it sit for a day or so, drained it and filled it again. I cut it with a cut-off wheel on my grinder. So far, so good. After I made the cut, I threw some wood and leaves in it and burned it out to get the smell out.
I bought a 5x8 trailer to put it on. I couldn't find any used that was worth my time. In this pic, I had already started on my firebox. Notice my grand workshop. I'd give anything for at least a concrete pad to work on. I made due with what I have though. On a side note: If you read my thread on the Roll Call forum, I mentioned i recently bought a house. My goal, after we get settled, is to build a shop. Nothing major, but somewhere I can do these type of projects.
You can see, in the last three pics, the progress of my firebox. I don't have a fancy design, just functional. I wanted to have the little door (not sure what you would call it.) between the fb and the cook chamber, for sure though. I have to say it has come in handy. To be continued.....
