I don't really know much . . . okay, anything . . . about welding and welders etc or metal working but it seems like a nice shop. And it does have a plasma cutting table which is cool. Offers lots of flexibility when it comes to making mounting brackets and such or precisely cutting the RF plate narrower at one end so that when it lays in the bottom of the chamber it will have the correct slope. Just have to do the math right. Who knew geometry would be so useful.CUHS Metal Shop Reverse Flow

I have seen calculators for an offset smoker but not for a reverse flow. My understanding is a reverse flow will have more even temps than an offset.
Building my own smoker is on my project list but 2 years or so away so I have time to gather.

Pretty much the same as Feldon's.
http://www.feldoncentral.com/bbqcalculator.html
And some additional ones for FB to CC opening and reverse flow plate gap that are available here.

I also took the formulas off of Feldon's and put them in an Excel spreadsheet. My spreadsheet can calc everything but the throat opening. Try as I might to put the following formula into Excel, I could not get it to work.
With that I would have had everything in a single spreadsheet.CUHS Metal Shop Reverse Flow

Nice build so far Dave. Are you going to cap those ends flat like the new Lang's
I would. Wishing you great success on your build and if you need anything just ask.
All the best.---------------------------------------------------
I plan ahead, that way I don't do anything right now.

What right triangle are you using the cosign of ?? You have to define what that is from in the circle.

Here is a link to the calculator.
https://www.mathopenref.com/segmentareaht.html
Which works pretty much the same as the Throat Calculator for Cylindrical Tanks found on this page except that you can also calc the area if you are using a grease dam.
