Pit builders like Jambo have the throat opening at grate level, others a couple inches or so below. For me, grate level is preferred a bit, it helps keep the hotspot on the grate smaller/closer to the inlet, and sort of emphasizes top-down cooking.Texassmoke17 wrote: ↑July 27th, 2022, 12:20 pmDue to the double wall thickness of the insulated firebox that would put the top of throat opening 2" lower than the grate?
