    My first build! 275gal Oil Tank Reverse Flow

    I hope you don't mind if I pick your brain Dave!  Should I use 1/4" for the RF plate? Also, my RF plate will be 13" from the bottom of the tank so does that mean it needs to have a 13" space at the end of it? I wasn't sure if thats what you were saying in your ealier reply.

    Would you recommend a thermometer at the top grate and one at the lower?

    Dave, do you mean if there is 13" from the bottom of the chamber to RF plate that I need to leave that same distance at the end of the plate? That's interesting idea for redirecting. Are guys/gals having problems getting enough heat to the lower rack with the RF design?

    My first build! 275gal Oil Tank Reverse Flow

    My end result will look something similar to this picture below I found on google, only mounted on a trailer. In the original pics if you can see the blue chalk line below where the door cut outs are, that's where I planned to have the RF plate with the opening into the firebox 2 inches below...

    First chuckie question

    Im not necessarily concerned about the total weight.I just didn't think it would turn out right. I couldnt imagine if a "butt" was only a couple inches thick, regardless of the weight, that it would turn out as awesome as a normal one.

    First chuckie question

    Im gonna do my first chuckie tomorrow along with some other things. I was at the grocery this morning and took a look at the chuck roasts they had and they all were 2-3lbs and only 2-3 inches thick. Am I wrong in assuming that I need something bigger than this?
