    2 big inlet dampers vs. 4 small ones

    I see. Two up high and two down low would be best. Makes sense.

    2 big inlet dampers vs. 4 small ones

    No...but according to Feldon's calculator I need 55 square inches. The question was sort of general...all my measurements can be found here in a thread titled "is Feldon's calculator really flawed?"

    2 big inlet dampers vs. 4 small ones

    Is there any advantages to having (for example) 4 small firebox inlet dampers over having 2 big ones of equal square inches? Like four 3" x 6" instead of just two 6" x 6"?

    1/4" steel for firebox-will it warp if not braced?

    Still in the planning stage for my RF build, and the firebox will be 32"W x 24"H x 24" deep. Will I want to add some cross-braces to these 1/4" panels when I build this box? I've seen them with and without...I've noticed that a lot of the Lang units have braces on the panels, I assume for more...

    Is Feldon's Calculator really flawed?

    I'm sorry I haven't been on here for a while...no, I still don't have any pics. I'm afraid there has just been too much going on for me to work on the smoker.(car repairs, home repairs etc. etc. etc...) I'm hoping to get working on it soon. I've acquired an axle and wheels for free, and have...

    Is Feldon's Calculator really flawed?

    Excellent! Thank you so much for all that fantastic information! I'm really looking forward to getting this thing going. What I need now is some time...I will try to find some of Ribwizard's firebox ideas-that sounds great! And I assume the chimney height that the calculator shows is always the...

    My build

    I agree! And thank you LenDecaturAL for the great response! I've now posted a new question about this, and my plans to build, so you guys can once again answer (most likely) the same questions you've been asked 2 billion times already...I'm sorry, but I just get tired of searching after a while...

    Is Feldon's Calculator really flawed?

    I've been searching all over this forum, and my eyes are getting tired...I've seen several posts stating that Feldon's Calculator is flawed. So, I just want to know before I begin my build. I have an old propane tank that is 36" I.D. and it was about 8' long, and 1/2" thick. So we cut it in half...

    My build

    So, is the Feldon Calculator incorrect on the cooking chamber opening? I'm just starting a build. (still in the planning stage...)

    ENTERING MY FIRST BBQ CONTEST

    I've only done it twice, but it seems to be sort of a general idea that judges, (even local ones...) seem to like things fairly sweet and bold. Honey makes a nice addition to any sauce towards the end of cooking, because of it's nice shiny glaze, and the sweetness. What I learned is to plan...

    How much charcoal should I expect to need?

    I'm starting to build a rotisserie smoker from a propane tank that's 36" in diameter, and 48" long. The firebox will be roughly 1/3 the size of the cooking chamber. I've been smoking for about 8 years, but I've never had a cooker this big, so I am just curious as to how much charcoal (I don't...

    How much charcoal should I expect to need?

    I'm just getting started building a rotisserie smoker out of a 36" diameter propane tank that's about 48" long. I've been smoking for about 8 years, but never had a cooker this big, so I'm just curious as to how much charcoal (if I don't have ready access to wood...) I might want to start with...

    Where to find a thermometer with a capillary

    Nothing. Just looking for something that I can mount permanently. I don't care what kind it is.

    Where to find a thermometer with a capillary

    Hey guys-I would like to find a thermometer with a capillary to mount on my smoker, with the capillary bulb mounted right at the grate  but I can't seem to find anything except for industrial use. That would be fine except that they always want to sell about 500 at a time...I would just like to...

    275* vs 225* spareribs. Anyone?

    Cool! Thanks! I'll have to give this a try sometime!

    Shopping for a new BIGGER cooker! Suggestions please!

    I am planning to buy a larger smoker maybe early next year, (tax refund...) so I've been lookin at Lang, and others, and I came across Heartland Rotisserie Cookers' website, and these are the rotisserie tray style cookers, which look like a wonderful idea to me. No hot spots, cold spots, or...

    275* vs 225* spareribs. Anyone?

    Ribwizzard, if you don't mind me askin, how long do you cook them? Do you wrap them? If so, how long? What's your overall procedure?

    275* vs 225* spareribs. Anyone?

    Sorry-I should've searched more...the kids were yelling at me...I haven't been on here for a while...but lemme know what you guys think!

    275* vs 225* spareribs. Anyone?

    I've always done them around 220*-240*, and done some sort of variation of the 3-2-1 deal, and have had pretty good luck, but I saw that Johnny Trigg said he does his at 275*. I'm sure lots of you have done this, so I just wondered about cooking time, wrapping or not, if so,  how long, etc...
