RF temp help?

ok thanks for the info. we are going to cut off the 90s first. then we will add more air intakes if needed. then we will get a bigger pipe if that does not work. thanks for all the info. I will keep you folks updated. won't be till Thursday till I can test any of this out.

I would recommend ditching the 90's and increase exhaust to 6"

I just baught a reverse flow from custom pits. I found a thread on here that said a guy just got one also and we were both having problems with temp. he put a bigger exhaust on his and it fixed his. I put another inlet on mine and it also fixed it. I would suggest fixing one thing at a time instead of fixing everything at once untill you achieve the temps you want. I also had a small gap on my door with high temp felt and I think that helped a lot!

update. we cut out the 90;s. fired it up and with in 45min it was rolling at 264. we are going to change our charcoal/wood ring. I think if we lift it up some to get the air under the fire not level with it. thanks for all the tips.
