Where do I start?

Post by SmokinJoeSpivey » September 11th, 2015, 4:26 pm

Ok. I want to build a reverse flow cooker. I am going to use sheet metal. I thought about making it like a hexagon in shape. I can bend and weld metal and don't have axcess to pipe or tanks. This is going to be just a family cooker. What size you all think I need to make it? Will the calculator work for this style?

Multiply that answer by the length and use that in the PitCalc, assuming cu. in.


If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?
