New user needs some design advice

Post by trekinaway » December 4th, 2013, 5:00 am

Hello to everyone, I have the plans for the big bulls smokin bbq machine which has a circular cooking chamber Dia 30" x 72 1/2" long. I am in Australia and am having difficulty sourcing a cylinder of this size and was thinking of fabricating a square chamber of 30" x 30" x 60" long (this would maintain the same volumetric size). Can anyone advise if this would be ok or is there a better alternative.
I can't wait to get her built and start bbqing southern style!!!

If you maintain the same volume then you will be fine.

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