lucky dude sound like a good trip

thanks k.a.m. it was just a thought. So I asked. I think I like building them more than using them to cook. this is number one there will be more thank you

So I was just thinkin' so I better ask. would a series of smoke stacks across the top work the same as tuning plates. dampers on said stacks open or close more to tune the heat. is that something that would work or do you all think it would fail miserably just a thought

I feel like I am on the campain trail I have switched Ideas more time on how to go forward then when are senators do when they get a tough ?


So maybe it back to tuning plates

Ok so I got a new fire box its 20 inches across and forty five inches long aka (a forty gallon compressor tank) so does it matter how far the tanks overlap. I just thinkin' bout my fire box hang out forty inches that seems like alot. I was think more like thirty inches. tucking it under the cook cha...

I love the Idea of it resembling an outdoor kitchen

Looks awsome so far keep it up

So I think I have decided to go with a bigger fire box Mostly because I found A 24 inch round tank like 3/16's thick. I will take more pics when I get the tank home from the farm ;)

Where I grew up in Minnesota that's how we do things there. with less good bbq Thanks for posting

So if I stay with my RF plan I would need a bigger firebox or if I go with tuning plates I would be ok with the fire box I have?

Do tuning plates have to be adjusted every time or are they set after you get them where they need to be once.

So here it is tell me what you think I need to do different or keep ( I can Take it)

It is an oval tank. it has been mod. so it is wider than normal it was 265 gallons before mod prolly 300 after mod
I have considered some sort of electronically controlled device for temp.

the dem. would be 32depth 60 length 45 heigth outside dem. I don't know what a PID guru or stoker is in smoker terms

so the cooking area is 32 x 32 x 60 that would be after the RF plate is welded in the current fire box is 16 x 24 x24 that is 1/8 inch thick I was planning on a 6 inch stack. I was think warming box don't know the size yet
