Can I use the Feldon calculator on a reverse flow build?

[dveeusrod]

Hey all. I built a reverse flow smoker out of a 250 gallon air compressor. It's my first smoker build. I just found the feldon calculator from this site when I couldn't get my pit up to temp while seasoning. It's time to make adjustments. My question is can I use the feldon calculator on a reverse flow? Any help would be greatly appreciated. [ATTACHMENT=3288]IMG_7421.JPG (2,251k. JPG file)[/ATTACHMENT]

Thank you Mr. Dave! That helps a lot. I need to open up my FB to CC opening.

Update. I did the modification to my CC and just like clockwork my problem was fixed. This site is awesome![ATTACHMENT=3299]:sausage:[/ATTACHMENT]
