extra fresh air intake on reverse flow

[cj5muddslinger]

Here's my first reverse flow build. My cooking chamber is a old expansion tank that's 36" x 84". I've got a 30"x 40" fire box. Since this was a expansion tank it has a flange on the top or front now. My question is has anyone had the need for extra fresh air after the firebox? Thanks Tom

Hello http://www.smokingmeatforums.comhttps://smokingmeatforums.com/members/62554cj5muddslinger,

Have never needed nor ever seen a fresh air inlet after the firebox.

Cap that sucker.

I agree .. You will lose your draft if you don't cap that end
