Yep, that's right.... no firebox!!!
I'm new here and looking for answers from those more experienced. I'm in the process of building a smoker out of a propane tank that is 24 inches in diameter by approximately 5 feet long .
The tank will set horizontal and has a slide in tray in the bottom that holds the Wood and charcoal .
Loosely based on a reverse flow design where there is a sheet of stainless steel between the fire and the grates. The grates by the way we're a 4 x 4 cast iron tree grate that went around the base of a tree .
Basically on the end of the tank I cut it in half so that the bottom half of the tank is removable . This removable portion is bolted onto a very large and very heavy tray that slides in and out to hold the wood.
Looking at different calculators I have been unable to determine the correct height and diameter of the smokestack . Any thoughts ?
I will post a picture soon as I can
