    Need some help with my revese flow smoker

    Right a update, lifted the grid - no difference. Opening the door a touch - no difference. Tilting the cooker - firebox down - no difference. Then I added a plate to the end of the of the baffle plate to restrict flow - it made it worse. So if I am reading it all right - I need to go to a...

    Need some help with my revese flow smoker

    One more question on the exhaust/chimney. I see every body always advises to keep the chimney wide open - so is a damper even required - or can I just skip that and go straight through chimney. With the 4" chimney you advised - what length should I make it then ? Thanks Mike

    Need some help with my revese flow smoker

    Hi, thanks for the assistance. No the plate is level The picture only shows one intake - there is another one exactly like that on the other side as well. Would it help if I make the firebox exit a touch smaller - more into line with the spec sheet - restrict it at the top - that way the...
