I would go to the trusty calculator for that.

Oh by the way, WOW, that is gonna cook some meat!
I thought mine was big. (DC- I know TWSS)


BBQ is just smoke and beers!
Usually more beers than smoke.

It's the tree calculator (that will be needed to figure out how much fuel to add) that may be needed.
