    Another 120 gallon reverse flow

    Since the smoker I've been working on is on hold waiting on the trailer I started another one to replace my 60 gallon RF. This section of tank is what I cut off the tank of the other build. This is probably the last time I'll put a door in the domed end. Was a pain to mark the opening and I...

    Straightening door opening

    I'm currently building a 125 gallon reverse flow. When I cut the CC door the tank rather than the door sprung. The top and bottom of opening in the center of the door are sticking out past the door by about 1/8". The radiused ends line up perfect. I was prepared to straighten the door but...

    Charcoal basket or not?

    I just finished building a 60 gallon reverse flow. I'm not sure whether I should build a charcoal basket or not. Is there a need for it? I've got plenty of wood to burn in the smoker. Also has anyone ever built their own chimney starter I've never been a fan of the store bought ones...

    Minimum size smoker for whole pig

    A friend wants me to build him a reverse flow to do a whole pig. I rhino the biggest he would do is probably 100-125 pounder. I have a 100 gallon propane tank. I think it's 6 feet long and around 24 diameter. Will this be big enough? I have no experience with whole hog cooks. This would...

    Hello from socal

    I've been lurking for a long time here while gathering everything to build a reverse flow. I've been welding as a hobby and side job for the last 5 or 6 years. But I did fabrication as my dad's helper in his business since I was 14 or so. I'll post a thread soon with numbers for my build. I...
