Thanks for the tip. I never really thought about reverse flow, but I've heard great things about them.Big T wrote: ↑December 11th, 2018, 9:26 pmWelcome aboard!! The best piece of advice that I can give you is to trust the calculator. I would also recommend that you take a look at a reverse flow if you haven't already done so, they're the best option for the 200-325 degree in my opinion and the temps are pretty even across the cook chamber. With that being said, there's nothing wrong with a well built traditional offset.
Good point, it looks like 18" x 19" would also work well, and give me a little extra length in the firebox. I'll keep playing with the calculator for the perfect ratios and dimensions!Dirtytires wrote: ↑December 11th, 2018, 11:47 pmremember, the calculator gives you the size of the box but you can customize the dimensions to some extent. For instance, my wood supplier cuts standard to 18 inches on his logs. If I had a 16 inch firebox, I would either need to pay extra to have him custom cut mine shorter. I, obviously would want a 20 inch firebox front to back so would shrink the other dimensions to keep it to the square inches specified.
