    LenDecaturAL, YES!!! My son and I came to the same conclusion.    We angled the plate that we shut the FB to CC with more and started the bend at about the to of the opening..  opened the other end of plate to 8 in,  6in may work as well.  Had the chimney at about 26 in high and completely...

    Help!!!! I mod my old SNP to RF and can't get the TEMP UP

    I give up.  think the problem is opening between fb and cc.  raising the chimney to 26 in helped.  raising it to 30 in did not seem to do anything.  adding a 2.5 in dia air inlet to fb helped raise the temp, but not to a satifactory level.  it also came a cost of burning up fuel at a very rapid...

    Help!!!! I mod my old SNP to RF and can't get the TEMP UP

    Added the inlet and the temp rose quickly.  However, it stalled at about 240-250 and burned the fuel in no time.  The way it came,  could get about 250 with about 1/2 to 1 inch inlet opening and the amount of fuel (lump hardwood charcoal) I used in my test today would last a couple of hours...

    Regular offset vs reverse flow offset vs vertical with side firebox

    Hear a lot of good about the Lang, but I just do not want to spend that kind of money without seeing what I am getting.  With the shipping costs added, I may be able to find someone in the area to weld one up for that, I do not know.  One of my main concerns is lifting the door.  Tried one at...

    Regular offset vs reverse flow offset vs vertical with side firebox

    bruno994, Not really set against a vertical, just have not had very many give me a positive feedback on them.  Saw one and it was a lot easier for me to open than the horizontal.  Must admit that I have been wanting a RFS for sometime.  I am not having much luck in finding a dealer in the Tulsa...

    Regular offset vs reverse flow offset vs vertical with side firebox

    Hello, In the market for an up grade.  Have a cheap horizontal offset and was wondering what, if any, advantages/disadvantages the reverse flow horizontal and the vertical with side firebox have.  Had a vertical with the heat directly under the meat and do not want to use that type again. ...
