First rf build

[reck87]

Okay so I want to build a reverse flow smoker with a warming chamber and put it on the trailer I have a tank that is 24 inches in diameter 46 inches length I also have a boat trailer that I acquired for 25 bucks and the Tempest free so that shouldn't be too hard I'm not a very good welder but I can get by with what I do also have a lot of relatives that are welders so shouldn't be a problem I just want to figure out where to put my RF plate and how big my Smoke Box should be and other things like that all the help that you guys can give will be greatly appreciated I'm new to the site so thanks I've also read a lot of forms on here about building smokers so I know that you guys have a lot information thank you

Ask questions here first is much easier and faster than grinding and cutting welds to fix a smoker.

Look at feldons calculator, for fire box and chimney sizes,and it will also tell you spacing size for rf plate

Feldon's calculations are flawed when it comes to building a reverse flow smoker. Use the calculator here, http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/a/reverse-flow-smoker-how-to-calculate-build-tutorial
