It’s a compliment for someone to want to use my design. The guys on here were a ton of help for my first build so glad to help. Keep us updated how the temps and how the cook goes.

My air inlet is 1sq inch small but I think it’s gonna do fine as I believe I miscalculated the fb volume.
Thank you again for letting me attempt to copy your design.
I did screw up real good when I set the hinges for the folding shelf. I put the on upside down and it doesn’t fold down completely.
Weather man is calling for rain most all of next week so it looks like probably next Thursday before I can slap a chunk o’ cow in it to find out how well it’ll cook.

What would you think about adding a secondary intake above the one he has. About the same size as he currently has.Dirtytires wrote: ↑March 10th, 2019, 9:59 pmI’m sure you discovered this already but leaving that style of firebox allows a good amount of heat to escape making for a downhill spiral of more air=less heat.
The air inlet size is the measurement of the un-obstructed opening. I realize a picture is hard to tell sizes but that looks smaller than a 2x2 opening. Wouldn’t take much to open thatone up a bit but I would recommend adding an ear intake to the other side as well to better balance the fire.
