New guy question
Great forum with lots of knowledge here. I have an experimental build going and I have a firebox question. I have 30x48 half of propane tank. I'm building a vertical smoker with it, with the firebox directly below. I am at 77% of Feldon's with my firebox I was going to use.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Re: New guy question
Not a pit builder by any stretch of the imagination but the fire box being 23% to small seems like an issue that may be hard to overcome.

Re: New guy question
I'm not a pit builder yet The vertical I'm slapping together is built from scrap. With the FB directly under the chamber I could never find any good info if the FB needed to be say the same size as a reverse flow. Worst case it will eat a little more wood. The FB is out of 1/2" plate pieced together. I'm calling it " One ugly mutha". Ill try to post some pics later.
Thanks for the response
Ron

Re: New guy question
Alright fellow smokers Since this post I have completed the "One Ugly Mutha" upright and also whooped up a Santa Maria from scrap crap laying around. My next project will be a conventional reverse smoker to round out the collection. I'm not good at posting pics but I promise they are Whooped Up. Over the last few years I have learned alot from all the ongoing projects and input. I told my wife the info comes somtimes like cooking, slooowwww.
Thanks again to all smokers,fabricator's and DIY guys

Go to postimage.org. upload the pic.
Scroll down to "hotlink for forum" and click it, to copy the address.
Then paste that address here and click "post".
Experiment till you figure it out.

Re: New guy question
Or, you could just use the attachment option here on the forum. It’s pretty simple, I can promise you that, because I figured it out.

Re: New guy question
Take a look at this link and see if it helps you.
If you have trouble then it's probably the size of the Pic
so reduce it and try again.

Re: New guy question
you have some neat ideas there, one that if, I ever build another I will definitely use is that air intake vent. I cooked 28 briskets on a pit that had a control like that. Fire management was as easy as a gas control valve on that trailer. I like your design and you got the "picture postin" figured out.

Yes sir I'll get some better pics today that will explain the fire control.
Thanks for looking
