Hello forum. This is my first post.
I was gifted a 3ft diameter x 6ft long- cylindrical, double jacketed grill. I say grill because there is no firebox. They used one end for fire and the other for exhaust. I plan on leaving it as a wood burner. I do plan on adding a controller at some point if need be. I like the idea of being able to use it as a grill from time to time but its primary use is smoking large quantities of meat.
Can you help me figure out a few things?
1. Should I add a firebox or leave the cooking chamber as is?
2. Depending on the answer to 1, how big should the firebox be?
3. Depending on the answer to 1 and 2, how large of a smokestack will I need?
Thanks in advance and please forgive me if I havent provided enough detail.
