I got a question... what would yall use for the air intakes for the firebox? Ive been looking at the calculator but im guessing that those number arent quite right for verticals.
Verticals work a lot different than offsets, I don't think it will require using all 3 at the same time but that will give you some options if the wind starts blowing. Gizmo has built quite a few verticals and he says that he uses 1 1'' gate valve and has never had any problems getting to or maintaining temperature.
Alright. Thanks for the help. With it being a 24 inch wide tank i was going to use a 20 or 22 inch plow disk as the baffle plate between the fire and the cook racks. Do you think that will work alright?
Alright. I've never built or smoked on a vertical before but i thought the design was compact for the back porch and an efficient design so i wanted to try it out
I fired it up to season it. This thing is really low maintenance. I only had to touch it once in 3 hours. I'm gonna be doing an all nighter tomorrow night to cook some pork butts and a couple fattys for my son's birthday party on saturday. It looks like this thing should do what is supposed to
