BP length?

Post by das » February 10th, 2015, 7:35 am

Not sure how long the BP needs to be? You guys answered all of my ?, but left off BP lenght. RF is 60" long with a 22" diam.
How much space do I leave at the end of BP?

At least as much as the throat area. Beyond that, get it past the racks to catch drippings.


If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?

Yep what they said. The square inches of the throat plus say 5%.
