Looking for some advise on a smoker build.

[Climbr]

New here, looking for some advise. I'm about to build a reverse flow smoker from a 120 gallon propane tank and need some advise on sizing the fire box. I have watched several builds and they seem to have large fireboxes but only build small fires in them. My cooking chamber is about 5' long and 2' in diameter. I'm planning on using a 4" pipe for the exhaust. Any advise would be appreciated.

Standard Reverse Flow Smoker Calculator... by DaveOmak and others... Ready to use.. rev5.. 6/19/15.

Here's to "Alien BBQ" and the folks that first put the calculator together and "1728 Software Systems" for this great "Circle Calculator" and all the folks at "SmokingMeatForums", with a special shout out to Ribwizzard, that contributed their ideas and feedback while this thing was coming...

See if this helps

The DaveOmak calculator will give you what you need for numbers.
