Offset Reverse Flow and Vertical Center Feed

Got some stuff done on this marathon project. I will insulate the sides of the FB with three inches of insulation. The front, back and top will get one inch. Got the trailer notched out to accommodate the FB. BP is welded in place. I didn't get a shot of it but I cut the hole for the stack (I needed something to keep the fresh air coming in while welding the BP). At this pace, May I'll be done by Christmas

: Used angle iron to hang the FB

: Will cut insulation to fit this 1" gap prior to putting the front plate on for the FB

: Hinges

: Noticed today the the expanded is welded in two different directions in the grates.

Great job.... I was actually looking for the tank you had in the very first picture... Finally found it. Nothing like what I originally thought. Love it!

Man. It's been awhile since I've been on here. Glad to see everyone and this site thriving. Between trying to stay married after buying a new boat and lots of trailer/smoker work for other people, I finally had some time/resources to put some work in on this baby. Maybe I'll have it finished before my teeth fall out...

Oh yeah, nice job! Insulated FB too, sweet.

Making memories!

Thanks gents. Im a little concerned with the grease-pan/heat baffle over the FB. The heat from the FB will be concentrated in the center of it with the damper opened. I have plenty of space to raise the tracks for it and possibly add a tuning/heat sink plate over the damper. That should absorb & defect some of the heat outward. RC did you do something like that for your rig? Anyone else try something like that lately. Could be I'm just over thinking things again.

TQ puts a deflector over the damper from FB to WC. It's just a flat plate with 4 legs that can be removed if you want.

Awesome. I'll give that a shot. Thank you

Mine has the channel from the GF burner over the opening, then I have the baffle/drip pan 1/4" plate above that. The heat goes up the sides, but there is still radiant heat from the baffle.

Making memories!

That sure is a good looking cooker.

I put a 1/2 inch thick shadow plate above the FB to WC damper on mine.

Made some more progress. Gaskets, fire basket, and air intake done. She's a functional smoker now. Got some trailer work done. After a shelf, fenders, lights and some rims coming from eBay, all that's left is paint. I may get to paint the smoker tomorrow. Gonna go with a different color for the trailer. In the home stretch now...
