I think based on a 250 gallon cooking chamber minimum size for the firebox is more like 75 gallons.... Good luck on the build and I will look forward to following your progress and hopefully getting good ideas for mine
I think what you are asking is how to decrease the volume of your cook chamber without changing the actual size of it by adding a false bottom in it.AllySallyCoop wrote:We are thinking about reducing the volume of our tank by putting in a false floor beneath the reverse flow channel. This would reduce the volume of our tank to around 180 gallons (so the 55 gal drum fire box should be sufficient). How do I calculate the proper size for the RF channel? Our tank is about 5 feet long and about 27 inches wide and will about 32 inches deep above the false floor.
