Has Anyone Beveled Tuning Plates And Used Them In A Rev Flow

Hi Smokers... Got some cuts completed on my 120Gal Reverse Flow. Planing out the CC now. Has Anyone Beveled Tuning Plates And Used Them In A Rev Flow? When the tuning plates are butted together it would act as one complete plate. Tuning plates would be different widths and give me the option to remove and tune if ever needed? Does this sound crazy?
Thanks

Nope....tuning plates are sweet but just usually more time consuming.....

Mike I have never used tuning plates for the simple reason that I like my baffle plate setup. But Yes you could do exactly what you are talking about and go reverse flow or tuning plate mode. I am going to offer this style of cooker on my website that will be online very soon

I use tuning plates, I don't need to adjust them very often as they work great as a RF style when closed up. It seems to me that the bevel you are speaking of will really only be more work for the one making them. They don't leak anything to speak of if they are just cut straight anyway.

Just my $0.02

Thanks for the replys. If it will not make a diffrence I will not bevel. Work in progress.... isnt it always?

Yes!
If the plan doesn't change ALOT, along the way, you aren't having enough refreshment in between steps.

If time permits today I'm going to grab the steel plate at a local scrap yard. They rebuild/modify alot of ships in the Miami port area. I'm told they have 1/4" coming in. Good score if it is. Just hope its not to thick.
Should my Baffle plate slope up away from FB end? I think I read 1"????
