Re: Tucker's First Reverse Flow Smoker Build

Thanks to some help from one of my uncles and some guys in the shop, the smoker build is starting to take shape.

Re: Tucker's First Reverse Flow Smoker Build

Sorry, I didn't even know that calculator was here until your post. No disrespect meant. Will give it a go when I get back to the computer and off the tablet. Looks cool though.

Two Questions

After searching the forum for a while this afternoon along with the interwebs, I am still left with one major question that I don't have a concrete answer for. 1. How large of an opening do I need to go from the firebox (PL 3/8 x 24" x 24" x 24" & 13,824 cubic inches) to the cook chamber (PL 5/16 x ...

Re: Tucker's First Reverse Flow Smoker Build

A high def plasma table...........I am not worthy. It is a pretty efficient tool to say the least. Our table is an 8ft x 20ft water table with a ThermalDynamics UltraCut 300 plasma unit on it.

This is my first smoker build, and currently I do not have a set of plans and am loosely planning this from calculators and reading posts on the internet......drawings...

Been doing a lot of research before I embark on my first smoker build, which is going to start soon. I will start a separate build thread to...
