Just wondering as to why you surest 9 square inches bigger? I read that the calc has some floors but is the 30 to be cautious?
I can easily get it I think.
So I'm getting back into it.
Here are the feldons calcs.

The only thing I'm worried about is the fire box to cooker opening.
It says 21.13 square inch. I've calculated mine to be just under 24 square inch.
Will this be fine or should I try for 26 + square inch...
So you have you baffle plate already in.
Personally for something your size I'd make a light weight (1-2mm) drop in catch tray with 30mm high sides to sit on top of your baffle so you can easily remove it and scrap it clean each night.
Foil would work but it's a large surface to cover and over...
thanks dave. yea i plan on having an upper and lower vent but also a flue baffel. i might have an idea which will allow draw over the complete height of the smoker.. ill keep you posted on my build
A question I have regarding the build and the exhaust.
Is it better to have the exhaust at the top of the cook chamber or lower down the side say just above the fire box?
My thoughts are lower on the side so you don't get a dead spot above the fb opening.
Any thoughts on that one
Thanks mate. Using tappatalk and strangely there is no edit option on here..
Yea I tried pulling it but I think the sinew threw the middle of it made the job hard. It wasn't chewy when diced but didn't shread
Some shots.
Being a chuck it didn't pull nicely so I diced it up. But omg it was moist and tender.
No complaints around the table again. Always a bonus.
And left overs. Love leftover sangas.
Cheers
Tried pushing threw but it's struggled all day today. Due to the party I had to have to cooker in the elements and with sun wind and rain it just struggled.
Pushed it threw to 530pm and it just hit 80c it..
Wrapped and stuck in the oven at 200c.. Pulled them out at 620pm at 93c and now resting...
So it's my little ones 2nd birthday today so having a lunch party and then a pulled beef for tea.
So bought a 2.1kg chuck roast and marinaded over night in a salt pepper perprika and fenal. A base of the mustard and patted on.
So up at 430am trying to lite the dam cooker and no bloody luck...
Thanks. Yea that's what I thought. This price is quite long but thin.
Roughly 13x6 and 3 inches thick. So if I cut it into 2- 6.5x6x3 then it'll reduce a bit
Right guys. Need some advice.
I've bought the wrong brickets. Bought heating ones not cooking. The things will not stably cook without out flame.
The 2 kg roast will it shorten cook time if I cut in half and cook 2 1kg roasts??
