Reverse Flow BBQ

[@SandalGuy1]

Great work, nice job. Loved the music added to the video.

[@LewisRenovation]

Thank you. Bach cello is my favorite

[@LewisRenovation]

thanks for watching

[@theotherguy4897]

Your choice in music is impeccable. Not to shabby on the smoker either 🤠

[@LewisRenovation]

@@theotherguy4897 thanks! Bach & BBQ

[@michaelskalin5126]

Great job!! just started my reverse flow and I picked up a few really good pointers. Speaking of pointers ,, nice dog watching you work 👍 Thanks again for posting your vid 🇨🇦🍻

[@LewisRenovation]

He's the best dog I've ever had. Thanks for the nice comment. Good luck with your pit!

[@LewisRenovation]

When your done, we need to have a Canadian Texan cook off!

[@mattewcline991]

Great looking work👌

[@LewisRenovation]

Thank you!

[@ShinyInsanity]

Enjoyed watching this. Good work.

[@LewisRenovation]

Thank you!

[@Tonnsfabrication]

Nice build, it turned out sweet. Gearing up to start mine in a few weeks, have 500 gal propane tank and plan to use a smaller tank for warmer but going to make my box out of 1/4" plate.

[@LewisRenovation]

How did it turn out?

[@raulrodriguez6987]

Would I have any problems reaching a coocking temperature if I add a box on top of the firebox? What I mean is to place another 5 briskets in that box.

[@LewisRenovation]

I would think it would work if you made the firebox, air vents, and chimney bigger.

[@cutweldngrind]

Thinking of building at minimum a 40 x 60 shop. Might build the ibeam frame and roof so I can use it and later the concrete and walls. I helped weld a 24x30 for my father and you can barely walk in there.

[@LewisRenovation]

You can never have to big a shop. Good luck

[@FrenchieFrench1555]

Very nice video, Thank you for sharing

[@LewisRenovation]

Thanks for commenting.

[@Jones572]

Very cool video!....great looking pit 👍🏾

[@LewisRenovation]

Thanks

[@guilhermeribeirodesouzalim488]

I'm sorry, as I do the calculation to know the size of the smoke entering the pipe

[@LewisRenovation]

I put a link in the video description for a bbq calculator that I used. Please let me know if you need something else

[@guilhermeribeirodesouzalim488]

Lewis Renovation & Repair I wanted to take a doubt with you from my smoker could you take a look at my project

[@LewisRenovation]

Sure, I'd be happy to. Do you have pictures, drawings, etc?

[@guilhermeribeirodesouzalim488]

Lewis Renovation & Repair yes

[@LewisRenovation]

Feel free to send to [e-mail]. I'd be happy to take a look.

[@badsullz]

Great video! Thanks for posting!

[@LewisRenovation]

Thank you

[@adammcdonald3006]

Great video guy! Plan to fab a similar smoker this spring!

[@LewisRenovation]

+Adam Mcdonald THANKS. Google Feldon BBQ calculator. It's invaluable for designing.

[@mikescott7826]

How thick is the steel plate in the bottom

[@LewisRenovation]

Cylinder is 3/8. Everything else is 1/4

[@Giorgios2r]

Great build man

[@LewisRenovation]

thanks

[@landserviceco.6056]

Great job

[@LewisRenovation]

Thanks

[@ifarted2656]

No joke great music

[@LewisRenovation]

Thanks. A little Bach is good for you.

[@KR-go4yx]

could u make a video on how u notched the angle iron for the cook racks?.

[@LewisRenovation]

Thanks. I'm always looking for ideas for videos.

[@breevesnbd]

That's a nice build. What angle did you cut the top of the legs?

[@LewisRenovation]

Thanks. I cut them on a radius to roughly match the 24 in wide tank.

[@kelecortez5834]

verry NICE HOW did u calculate FB to CC opening????

[@LewisRenovation]

I got all my critical dimensions from the following website. Down at the bottom has a calculation for fire box opening. www.feldoncentral.com/bbqcalculator.html Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@marpaf7331]

👍 really good amigo tank you for sharing

[@LewisRenovation]

De nada amigo

[@chazan8]

You're a master! Thanks for posting. Absolutely phenomenal video. Did you powder coat it after?

[@LewisRenovation]

thanks. Very nice words. I have not painted it. The main chamber is 3/8 thick and the fire box 1/4. Hopefully it doesn't rust out in my lifetime

[@pawjeppesen6589]

Great job, there. You make it look easy (assume it isn't). What's the dimensions on the main tube, and the size of the reverseplade?

[@LewisRenovation]

Main tube is 24 inches. The reverse plate is about 20 inches wide. There is a link in the description that has a great design worksheet.

[@tereztiago9133]

NOW THAT IS a damn grill

[@LewisRenovation]

Thanks. It makes some good pork ribs.

[@df9969]

What plasma cutter are you using? nice video,i like your choice of music in your videos. Keep up the good work. Hi from Canada.

[@LewisRenovation]

It's a Hypertherm 30XP. Rock solid machine. I've missed the gouge function on the bigger machines but other than that it's perfect. My dad has a M.A. in Music Theory so I grew up listening to classic music. Hello from Texas.

[@richarddegannes2928]

Would 3/16" thick plate be as good as 1/4" thick plate and BBQ smoker last as long outside?

[@LewisRenovation]

3/16 will last x2 lifetimes every where except the firebox. Which the bottom will probably rust out in 15 years. Even my 1/4 I just assume I'm going to have to replace the bottom sometime in the distant future.

[@richarddegannes2928]

@@LewisRenovation Thanks, Much appreciated.

[@tokenfatfriend68]

Great build and video. How did you finish off the cooking racks?

[@LewisRenovation]

Thanks! Family wanted to use the BBQ for 4th of July so I tacked in a small piece of expanded metal. The next week I cut it out and welded in expanded metal that went from end to end and also on the shelf in front.

[@FG-qh7qx]

Very nice. Did you check your boat for surface rush, just asking cause it happened to me.

[@LewisRenovation]

I checked it over yesterday. It's fine, but it's also a fiberglass boat.

[@ColKorn1965]

I made a circle cutter attachment for my plasma cutter to make jobs like this easier. I think you did a better job free-handing a lot of the parts, however.

[@LewisRenovation]

ColKorn1965 thanks. You got a pic of the circle cutter?

[@ColKorn1965]

I got a pic now.

[@LewisRenovation]

cool, please send to my email address [e-mail] I'd like to see it

[@joserivero5750]

Excellent Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you tried - Tarbbatigan Beyond Dreams Tip (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great exclusive guide for quitting smoking minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my close friend Aubrey finally got cool success with it.

[@LewisRenovation]

Music is personal

[@bobbya.7854]

I'm german and try to explain it in english. I'm a metal worker since 1984. Your work is very "old school". It's done like at home in a private garage. Sorry, but in my opinion professional work looks different.

[@LewisRenovation]

It should since I'm not a professional welder. Danke fur das kommentieren

[@bobbya.7854]

@@LewisRenovation Everything o.k. ✌✌ Sorry, but maybe it's only because I see it through the eyes of a long time metal worker and welder. Go on and do it the way you wanna do it. Greetings from Germany. 😎😎

[@LewisRenovation]

Of course I'm alwsys working to improve. And my welding is better today than it was two years ago. But I'm sure it will never be as good as someone with your experience. Plus, it's a BBQ, not a bridge :) Zum Wohl

[@cutweldngrind]

There is to much free space in that shop, something not right lol....

[@LewisRenovation]

Don't worry, 18 months later it's full of "stuff"! :)

Classical music... really?

[@LewisRenovation]

Different strokes...

@@LewisRenovation you aren't wrong there

[@SOLDOZER]

When you opened the door a bunch of smoke came from the firebox area. That should not be happening. There should be zero. I dont think you know what reverse flow is.

[@LewisRenovation]

Thanks for the input

[@Joe-nn7gb]

I dont think you know what a bunch if smoke is.

[@Joe-nn7gb]

@@LewisRenovation look good sir

[@SOLDOZER]

@@Joe-nn7gb If it's reverse flow, no smoke should be coming from the firebox area.

Your Weimaraner wants to learn welding 😃 teach him

[@LewisRenovation]

I've tried but he's a slow learner... or maybe I'm a bad teacher.😁
