I’m interested in how this works out...looks intriguing.

The seasoning process and first cook will tell. I cross fingers, but I am confident.

Hi BIG T Well, my main problem was to maximize cooking surface without having to tend 2 smokers. I will add an adjustable baffle between CC and WC plus a sliding plate opposite to the warming chamber in order to totally close the gap when using the warming cabinet, this way it will have a single way...

Hi!!! Work in progress!!! Next step, the frame, and then the doors. I have added a warming cabinet, it will have a baffle to get heat from the CC. If not sufficent for cooking or if it disturbs heat circulation, I will take the heat directly from the firebox with a pipe and close the baffle between ...

;) I thought about it but decided to go for the 44 inch cause 76 is too long... may be I will add a warming box later.

I have done mine with a grinder also, the most important thing is making the template first, after that it is not so difficult, just requires some attention and patience.

Thanks Billy, it turned better than what I was hoping for.
Next step is CC and Firebox door cutting.

Just a new pic as I have done the most difficult task today, cutting the tanks to match them together, now I can say it is good start.
I'll keep on posting pics as I progress on my build.

Ok, I went for 14" height, that's 72.92% of recommended, I hope it will be fuel efficient.

Thanks BIG T,

Should I rather go for 70-80 % of recommended size for the firebox?

Hi every body, I'm starting my first build tomorrow... I want to submit my project for analyze by more skilled builders in order to correct if needed. My project : From Stainless Steel solar heater tanks : 17.71 diameter and 76 long 17.71 diameter and 44 long. I plan to use the 44" long for CC. I'll...

That’s right Sir.

Thanks Rodcrafter for you input, I just have to forget the whole lamb thing, it seems that I have to cut the lamb in parts, no matter... the result will be the same. I plan to do a lot of Ribs, shoulder, and try the brisket.

Thanks Pete

Thank you Big T, I Will put it in the calculator.
I Will post pics as soon as I start building.

Ok, thanks for your answers, if it is to tight, I'll cut the beast.

Knowing the diameter 17.5", wich lenght do you think is best for a reverse flow?

Hello fellow smokers, I live in Martinique, and I've been reading you for a few years. I have a 2 weber kettles, I used to smoke in an UDS, but now I am ready to build my first reverse flow smoker. I have 3 SS solar heater tanks (no liner, food grade quality) : - 1 of 17.5 x76 inches - 2 of 17.5 x 4...
