    Rear-Facing Reverse-Flow Barbecue Trailer

    Final width was @ 46" (42" of grill space) I used some of the leftover 3/16"x4" flat stock from the expansion to put in a center support to hold the weight of the pig and to make a wall on top of the RF plate to form a water basin.

    Trailer Mounted Reverse Flow with added Goodies

    If the cops ask you to testify, I'd recommend you do it. It'll keep the little douchebags off the street FAR longer. Congrats on getting most of your truck back though! Maybe you'll get a free paint job out of it...?

    Ah, Jebus man... Freaking thieves. Listen to the prior posts, man. Don't let the insurance lowball you. Lawyer up if you can.(My neighbor did and saved himself alot of time, money and stress)

    Insulation for a Reverse Flow

    Well... The VERY best thing is ceramic wool. [=http://store.rsifibre.com/][/] Which will run you about $400 for 12.5' x 2' x 2". You're probably better off using plain old mineral wool.[=http://m.grainger.com/search/ProductSearch_item?item=3BE69][/] That'll run you about $67 for a piece 50" x 2'...

    my first 250 gal reverse flow

    Oops, I should note: You can keep the springs if you build a pin into the firebox/axle connection. Something like this maybe?

    my first 250 gal reverse flow

    Looks great so far! I ran into the same problems designing the Buffalo. I started with a Harbor Freight trailer similar to yours, but by the end of it I'd modified everything out but the springs and light kit. You're going to have to decide if you REALLY want that center-mounted fire box because...

    Rear-Facing Reverse-Flow Barbecue Trailer

    It wouldn't fit my rear-facing model, but if somebody wants to run with this, I'll donate the sword and toss in a horned helmet for good measure! THIS PROJECT NEEDS TO HAPPEN!

    Rear-Facing Reverse-Flow Barbecue Trailer

    Now that I'm thinking about it, a viking longboat theme would be great for one of the longer barbecues. Picture the dragon's head prow jutting up from the front of the tank, round shields along the side...

    Rear-Facing Reverse-Flow Barbecue Trailer

    That's a pretty good question. I'm wondering now; What kind of steel do burner manufacturers use? I'm guessing 316...? Extensive, years-long comparative metallurgy isn't my idea of fun, so if someone would just kindly tell me what to build it out of I'll make it happen. Mind you, I'm still...

    Rear-Facing Reverse-Flow Barbecue Trailer

    I adapted it to fit a small propane bottle so it can actually be carried somewhere. (Probably a horrible idea.) It's just a shell of 18guage sheet steel shaped like a sword. If I swing it too fast, the flame goes out. If I let it rest point down, the flames crawl up the handle and burn the cr#p...

    Rear-Facing Reverse-Flow Barbecue Trailer

    Thanks Mike. I used a 0-60psi pressure regulator from tractor supply. ($20) The ring on the valve stem locks the dial in whatever position I want. On a pipe burner(or on this one at least) there's only so much range you can get before you have to rethink your orifice sizes and/or manifold...
