Reply:When I built my smoker I used the ratios stated here:http://webpages.charter.net/tomchism...%20form%20.xlsto size my fire box, vent size, opening from fire box to cooker, and chimney volume.  Everything worked out for me, I can control my temperatures and the chimney draws good.
Reply:http://www.thesmokering.com/forum/Check out this web site. Lots of builders in the cooker section.   They also have a ratio calculator.  Be sure to follow it. I like the size of that reverse flow. I built mine from a 250 gal. Tank. Works great just a lot of smoker.Dan. D.Last edited by DanD78; 12-18-2013 at 10:08 AM.
