Hello Unclebeef,
I'm just starting out with having a smoker built for me, and when I came to this site and found your thread here, I have to say that I'm highly impressed! I do have a few questions for you and if you or anybody else here could give me an answer I would appreciate it.
First, What is the meaning of “Reverse Flow”? I was going to have my 500 gal. Propane tank with two doors on each side with three sliding trays. With the bottom of the tank fully open under the trays. Then I found your thread with the angle iron used as a trip tray with the two sides welded on to make a solid shelf (lack of a better word to call it!;) ) with a drain hole on the end. Is this a part of the reverse flow? Or is it with the custom damper you built, or both?
The guy that is supposed to build the smoker for me says that the trip tray with the two sides isn’t necessary for a smoker. I told him that I like your idea and he says that it was a good idea and good work but it might be over kill. I think it may be the case that he doesn’t know about Reverseflow smokers?
Also in one of the images of the smoker (alldoor.jpg” ) it shows a bar. I’m sending the image back with a question on it.
I noticed that some of the images that were listed here from “PhotoBucket” are no longer visible. Can I see them on Photobucket?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas
