I need the BP 4" from the bottom of my cook chamber. I am making my bottom grate 2" above my BP so that I can have 2 racks. I want my top rack about 8" off the bottom so I will still have about 5" of clearance on my top rack. That should be more then enough for ribs and chicken.

I have 2 - 500 gallon propane tanks and my plan was to make two smokers but money has ran short and I am considering using part of the second tank as my fire box. Is there any benefit to using a round fir...
