My overdue 250 gal smoker project

[Stick1968]

its been little over a year that I bought this tank. Short story is that on me. April 12 /19 I went into the ER not feeling good. Had a gallbladder issue. During this “normal” routine procedure. The Dr puntures my stomach and doesn’t know. I get septic and end up in that hospital for 1 month there, then the University of Texas at Austin medical center for 6 months. Lost 75 pounds just laying there, 8 surgeries, died once. But I’m feeling pretty good now and need something to occupy my time. So why not a 250 gal reverse flow smoker? Hers some pictures from the last two weeks .

If you haven't seen our tutorial on smoker building, it's below....

Standard Reverse Flow Smoker Calculator... by DaveOmak and others... Ready to use.. rev5.. 6/19/15.

Here's to "Alien BBQ" and the folks that first put the calculator together and "1728 Software Systems" for this great "Circle Calculator" and all the folks at "SmokingMeatForums", with a special shout out to Ribwizzard, that contributed their ideas and feedback while this thing was coming...
