Thank you! I think you've answered all my questions in one goBig T wrote: ↑October 4th, 2020, 10:43 pmWelcome aboard! There's not a calculator for a vertical anywhere on the internet that I know of. The FB size on a vertical really depends on what you intend to use for fuel. Charcoal doesn't require a very large FB where as wood will need more room. Verticals are very efficient so in my opinion a small vertical would be better suited for charcoal. Exhaust on a vertical just requires an opening, I would use 3'' with a damper. Intake size depends on the fuel, wood will need a lot more air than charcoal.
Thank you!
thanks!
I used a 3/16" plate and added holes, but i wanted option of hot and fast cooking. I welded 4 pcs of round bar to the bottom plate that were 1.5" taller than the basket. The plate sits on there. I have 3/4" gap all around and can move the plate if the back side (where exhaust vent is) get too hot. Done ribs and wings in it so far and it has worked great. Crispy wings in about 60 mins.nick9one1 wrote:Yep, a nice thick one, removable with an inch (?) gap around the sides
I dont have it yet, so feel free to advise if the gap should be smaller/larger
