Hello all. Here is what I have so far for math.
124gal Tank
24 1/4" wide
12 1/8" Radius (or 12.125)
Cooker Chamber Size 28644.00
Recommended Firebox Size 9548.00
Recommended Chimney Volume 494.00
Recommended Air Inlet Area 29.64
Recommended Firebox-to-Cooker Opening Area 79.04
I tried using this excel sheet for figuring out the FB to CC opening. Or the moon cut.
http://webpages.charter.net/tomchis...opy of Firebox opening - curved_Simple-1.xlsx
But I don't get why the 3 sections to it. What I am trying to accomplish is to have the fire box notch on the end of the 124gal tank lower then the center axis and still allow the proper size opening (1/4 moon cut). That way my heat plate across the bottom of the tank has some room between it and the cooking ranks which I would like to be at center axis.
Once I know how wide that moon cut is I'll know how deep to go with my firebox. From there height and width should be easy. Also I posted the question earlier of does the area in the firebox below the fire crate count toward total volume. I believe it does but I want to make sure. Thanks Steve
