    First Pit - Reverse Flow

    Thanks. Sounds like exactly the info I needed. Met with my pit builder last night. Based on the materials I have, he recommended going with the 30 inch round firebox.  I think this measurement will work for me... Thanks again for the help.

    First Pit - Reverse Flow

    I have been using the BBQ calculator to figure out some of the options based on teh material I have.  I was having trouble figuring the fiebox opening. I used the excell calcuator, but it says just 1.72 inches high and 20 inches across on a 30 inch pipe. Sounds short/small to me. Seems like the...

    I found this weigh calcualtor online. It basically says the weight for 24" diameter 1/2" pipe is 125lbs per foot. That sound correct?  http://www.jdfields.com/products/pipe-weight-per-foot-calculator.html

    I had a couple of people tell me 1/2" was overkill, but if that's what I got for no cost, should I use it or try to downsize? Is the weight or size really prohibitive? Anybody know how to calculate the weight? If you use charcoal in the cooking chamber, any special technique for cleaning out...

    New Smoker

    Yep, that was it. Besides the threads being to short on the fittings, cracks in the brass tubing, burner wholes filled with paint, burner rest being lopsided, and a few other insignificant defects, it worked great! I would not recommend it to anyone unless you came across it at a yard sale and...

    Thanks for all the replies and advice. Sorry it took so long for me to reply, but I have been busy smoking sausauge! I went ahead and did the hot smoke. Added a burner and just slowly bumped it up until about 155 internal. Middle links were a little warmer. Took about five hours, but I was...
