help about building a little different type smoker

[krusher]

hello,

I have been thinking for a while about building a wood burner, but wanted to make something a little different.

I have got my hands on an old wood stove , like the ones people use for heat and a drum, the drum is probably anywhere from 350-450 gallon size.

do you think this would be a good setup? I figure I'll 90 off the top of the stove into the bottom of the tank, the tand will be on a stand.

Things I was wondering was what is reverse flow, what kind of system will I need to fabricat to give good heat distribution through the tank, and will I just burn out the tank real good, or do I need to sandblast it.

any help is welcome

Hey krusher, this here post will 'splain the reverse flow better than I can. Coley did a great job puting this together-

Don't see why that wood burning stove wouldn't work, good luck with it!
