Plans for a new RF build

[tenne]

I like all the ideas here but really would like to do my first build from a proven set of plans. Sorry for my newbie ignorance but do they exist somewhere on the site and could someone direct me there?

Since most of the smokers here are an evolution....  What size tank are you going to use? I would suggest you read this one carefully, Ribwizard is the most prolific builders on the forum.

Welcome to the forum! I'm not aware of any pre-made plans here (though I don't doubt there might be somewhere) but they are out there. But, if you are interested in building you have come to the right place. I know what you mean about wanting a proven set of plans but since your here, I recommend you search around and check out some of the build threads. There are plenty of proven builds. There is a wealth of information and experience here and while most builds are custom, there is a certain 'general guidelines' that most of us follow to ensure everything is working as efficient as we can make them. There isn't one right answer. That allows us to make small changes to custom fit our needs. Search around and don't hesitate to ask if you have questions. Let us know first about what size you are thinking of building and we can start piecing together components from there. Its a fun process and the pay-off is huge.
