To the more skilled fab'ers in the crowd, please critique. I keep looking at the pic and seeing reverse flow being a good option for this. Flat plate running just short of the length of both barrels at the elevation of the top of the opening from the firebox. Cut off and cap the existing exhaust and make a new, larger, exhaust right above the firebox with the outlet being out the end of the first barrel.

Just want to thank everyone for their ideas! I cut a bigger exhaust in it and also put a new intake in and now she is ready to smoke. Could not have done it without all the input!
I am going to get it painted and will have pics up soon thanks everyone! Cole |

How to you get fuel into the firebox? I'd get the fire going and have something to keep that door cracked open to get more air into the fire. Same with the door on the far end of the cooking chambers. You need allot of aire to go through two drums vertically rather than a UDS, which flows verticle. I built a double barrel pit and had to add a second pipe between the barrels to get good air/heat flow. Look at the size of the opening between the firebox and the cooking barrels. In a Brikman Smoke-n-Pit Pro, which is a pit somewhat like yours, the opening is about 10"x12", if not larger. Bottom line, airflow. On a horizontal offset you shouldn't be controlling airflow with ball valves.

The tuning plates will make the temps more even across the horizontal chamber and are easy to make. It will get rid of the hot spot at the firebox end.

This is recent pick I replaced the old exhaust with an 8 in pipe and also Put a slide in the front of the fire box for more intake. Solved my problems I was having with getting it to heat up. |
