building a smoker / bbq

Sep 06, 2005 0 Replies

hi there,



about a year and a half ago a made a stainless steel barrel smoker. It works good, but is to small now and has a problem keepin a low temp. (lower than



80 C. the fire will need a lot af attention). I'm thinking of building a new one. this time a bigger one Off set model. the question is, when using a 800 (or 1000) liter barrel (180 cm long, 80 cm diameter) how big should the firebox be. I can get a 4mm stainless steel box(66 cm, 85cm, 61cm) for about 120 $. but it seems a bit to big
