First RFS build, Thank you!

Post by autoteacher » August 9th, 2016, 3:10 am

After a colleague mentioned reverse flow smokers, and being an avid smoker/barbecuer I started looking for a tank..A friend who collects scrap metals and supplied a 20 something gallon sandblasting tank. The size is just right for me. After much reading for advice from this forum and careful use of the calculator the smoker is built. I did add a rotisserie (The spit is showing on the left) which was the most expensive item I bought. Including the welding done by a former student, the total cost came in at under $345. Both tanks and all steel were recycled materials.

I am impressed!

Thanks for this great site!

Marc
