That really turned out nice!! Interested to see how it cooks for you.
Thanks for sharing!

I couldn't get the pictures to load using an iPad.

Congrats on the new son!
Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

I usually use a fully involved chimney mixed with charcoal & lump. Then I add a couple of splits to get things going. Let it settle in. Set to your desired temp. When the temp starts dropping add another split. Keep repeating the process.

Nice job!

Definitely a great build! Like all the thought and detail you put into it.

I like the RF for a few reasons, I can control the flow of smoke over the meat better, I can use the radiant heat from the plate, it holds even temps across the grate. To name a few, don't get me wrong, when I built my big cooker I made tuning plates. But after trying difficult settings with them I...

My original thoughts was to rework the firebox if needed. Change the exhaust and fit the doors a little better.
What advantages does a reverse flow have over a standard flow? I know standard flow usually has convection plate or tuning plates to control airflow.

I was under the impression that the current dimensions of the tank wouldn't be that good for a RF.
I guess I need to try and look at this smoker in person.
Thanks

I would think that cutting it in half would make it to small for my use. Was kicking around the idea of cutting it in half and going vertical.
What would be the idea length for 16" diameter smoker? You guys are the experts appreciate all the advise.

It should be a good start if it's cheap enough. I had a store bought model that was similar to this one but it was thin metal and didn't last very long. You can make a few mods to it and have yourself a nice smoker. Big T Thanks for the reply! I liked the fact it was 1/4". But didn't want to waste ...

This is the hotdog it's forsale cheap. I was looking at it as a project.

Would a 16 x 60 piece of pipe be a big enough diameter to build a smoker ? 1/4 steel. Would flow be a problem?

Nice build!

Thanks for sharing your build.

Looking forward to seeing your build progress.

Nice build!! That thing is a monster.

So many talented people with great projects, builds, and ideas here. I have been thinking about building a Reverse flow stick burner for awhile. So I will probably be lurking and enjoying the builds on here for a little while. Currently just trying to collect material and deciding exactly what I wan...
