My Very Frist Reverse Flow Smoker

Post by smokershawn73 » October 2nd, 2012, 2:52 pm

Hello all this is the NEWBE. I'm starting my first reverse flow smoker. I have an 80 Gal. old waterheater tank that i'm making into a smoker. I don't know what size of fire box to make and what size of baffle hole to start with, any help would be nice..

Please ask away. Good group here will help all they can.


BBQ is just smoke and beers!
Usually more beers than smoke.
