I have a new project I am working on and have a ton of questions, look at the pic to get an idea on what I want to do and read on and please add as much input as you can.
I was going to make a stick burner, but really like how easy the GOSM's are to use and control.
Never got an "A" in art.
Anyway what I am trying to do here is design it similar to my GOSM.
I want to have it down on paper and roll it around in my head before I start
Supplies
1) 90 gallon tank Dimensions are 24" diameter by 54" long
2) 1" x 1/8" flatsteel
3) 6 hinges
4) Handles, not sure what to do here
5) 5" black pipe 3 pieces at 4" each
6) burner, valve and hose,not sure of the BTU rating
7) angle iron or something to rest the racks on
8) 6 racks 18.5" in diameter $11.99 Each at Ace Hardware
9) 10-12" Cast Iron Dutch Oven Or Frying Pan For Wood
11) 14-16" Water Pan
12) 3 digital thermometers
Questions
1) The GOSM is a 13,000 BTU burner I believe, what size burner should I use?
2) should I design the airflow similar to the GOSM (draws air from underneath like a chimney), or should I put the side vents in?
3) should I mimic the height of the water pan and chip pan like the GOSM
4) How big should I make the opening, I would like to slide the grates out, but at the same time really don't want to make the door that huge, I was hoping to make the door 1/3rd of the diameter.
5) any suggestions for the legs
6) ans suggestions on how to do the shelf brackets
7) for the racks does anyone know where to get expanded steel
8) should I add something for Thermal Mass, I was thinking of a second pan underneath the water pan of sand
9) should I seal the door with the following
