That's my idea that one that long would not heat properly. I am just wondering if anybody has tried it. I don't want to be first.

I had considered the middle mount firebox but mounting it on a trailer would also be problematic.

After a couple of years of using it I have had no problems with the fiberglass insulation. Cheapest think I have found.

Has anybody ever tried to build a 20 plus foot long pit. I am wondering if it would even be able to get enough heat in the thing to cook. Considering welding two 500 gallon tanks together and making a monster pit.

Stills and Grills

Only problem is sometimes I struggle getting the seal as tight as I would like. I cold cut for the most part so not a huge problem but a little tweak once in a while would be nice. I think a bottle jack cold be the answer.

Thanks I guess I will give it a try.

I like the looks of this idea but I usually weld my hinges on after the top cut. Putting the door back on later seems to be quite a big task.

Thanks

I have read about the bottle jack method for straightening doors. Does anybody have a video link or a description of this method.

What did you use for insulation?

I did some research and fiberglass is rated to 1000 degrees. Has anybody tried that instead of mineral wool?

I just ordered my plans also. I am planning on using stainless on the exterior. Any tips on the firebox would be appreciated. I have never been able to look at one of these things.

I just purchased a 330 gal tank and cannot figure out which set of plans to order. Can any one help me out.

The plan for the 500 gal reverse flow smoker does not show how the draft holes should be laid out and how large they need to be to get enough air to make it burn properly.
