annnddd DONE, there are some things in retrospect I would do differently (namely don't use spiral weld pipe).

Back then my head was harder than the pipe so I would fight it with various hydraulic devices until it fit. I'm not as willing now. Making me...

Lurked for a long time, decided to start posting and show where I currently am at with my build. Just made a thread in reverse flow. Thanks in advance for all the help! This site is a wealth of info.

Let me preface this build by saying if you see a spiral weld pipe and think to yourself that you want to make a smoker out of it, run, run far away.
