If you were to build your dream smoker...what would it be like? I am looking for opinions and input from everyone on tank and / or pipe size. Earlier this year I finished my 150 gallon tank RF build and after doing several comps and really noticing other pits in the last 6 months from a builders perspective, I have several ideas and wonder what everyone else has to say about them. The 150 gallon tank I used is 24" in diameter and 5 feet long, which is to me about the perfect size. I installed slide out grates, but at 24" deep, slides were not completely necessary, nice, but not necessary. So my thinking in going bigger on my next build, to be able to cater and vend, what would the perfect size be? After much thought, I am leaning towards staying with a 24" diameter, but going longer (maybe 10 to 12 feet long) obviously to increase my Qpacity. As far as if I want this one to be a RF or not, I have yet to decide, I really like my RF rig, but am leaning towards making the new one a direct flow version. Back to the size issue, my thinking on staying at 24" diameter instead of ramping up to the typical 250 gallon tank and 30" diameter or even the 36" diameter 500 gallon tanks I have seen is the ease in heating up a smaller space quicker and getting more use out of every inch of heated space instead of the cavernous larger diameter tanks. This will be mounted on a 16' trailer with burners, prep countertops along with serving countertops for vending, sinks and all the other bells and whistles. Also a warmer box mounted on the top of the firebox. Just thinking out loud...any and all input and thoughts are appreciated.
