How to build a reverse flow offset smokers?

Do you want to know how to build your own reverse flow offset smoker? Are you finding any difficulty while building your reverse flow offset smoker? Well, if yes, then you have landed on the right website to learn on how to cook food on offset smokers. 

So, what are you waiting for? Let's get started.

As we know that a reverse flow offset smoker is nothing but an indirect heat smoker. Basically, there are two types of reverse flow offset smokers- one is static while other is movable. 

Movable reverse flow offset smokers can be moved to any positions. In a reverse flow offset smoker, the chimney is on the same side as that of the firebox. You can build a reverse flow offset smoker easily from used materials or with new material. 

The first step in building a reverse flow offset smokers is to build a suitable firebox. You require a lot of money to build the firebox. Here, we are using a firebox made up of the thick steel. The advantage of building a firebox made up of steel is that it will control the temperature very well. 

And the second advantage of such a firebox is that it is very easy to handle. You can cut this steel with the help of mini-grinder or you can cut from any shop. 

Also, you must purchase smokers that are made up of the hard steel. The smokers made from thin steel cannot be used for a long time. So, there is no issue to use a thin steel, but it is durable for a very short time.  But, still if you don't know how to use the best offset smoker which are available online just go through the user manual once. You will get clear idea on how to use it. 

Also, use heavy smokers as they can sustain heat efficiently. In the process of building the reverse flow offset smokers, you require a welder.

Following are the equipment or parts that you must know while building such smokers:
• Firebox
• Cooking Chamber
• A baffle plate to give the direction to the heat
• Thermometer
• A handle made up of wood
• Shelf
• Along with the above equipment, you will require following tools:
• A mini-grinder
• welder

Also, you have to take care of your safety as you are welding the metals. So, you must have welding helmet, proper gloves and sunglasses to avoid damage to the eyes.

The second step in building the reverse flow offset smokers is to consider the body of the cooking chamber

While, designing a cooking chamber one thing to keep in mind is that you must keep a small area where the meat can rest. And thus, the meat and smoke can move over this area. There is a small opening to this tank and door comes up with welded hinges.

Now the next step is to build a perfect firebox:

As previously stated, you have to build a heavy firebox which maintains heat without any difficulties. Also, such firebox also helps in regulation heat and firebox handle must be very convenient to use as well as effective.

Now we have to consider the baffle plate:

The baffle plate plays a role of the heat sink and gives the required radiant heat. So, from the firebox we get the heat and the smoke, these heat and smoke enter the baffle plate but as it is a reverse flow then due to the presence of baffle plate, heat and smoke leaves through a chimney.

4 ventilation pipes are used to build the chimney. Also, some thermometers and fire basket are then added to this smoker. To collect all hot coal a fire basket is used. 

In the last step, wash the smoker neatly after it is built and then cover it with the high heat paint. In this way, you can build a reverse flow offset smokers. After it is built, it's time to check how it works. 

When you are checking the working of the smokers, always use the coal as a fuel. In addition to this, wood is used as a smoke. Thus, this is the whole process with the help of which you can build offset smokers.
