I used the Danny Gaulden review of the Big Drum Smoker for dimensions and used 24 inches from the bottom of the charcoal basket tothe cooking grate. However, My basket is only 6 inches high (13 inch diameter). I just finished it last week and will do my second cook today (2 picnics). The first cook came out well but it did spike on me to 300 at one point. My inlet holes are about 2 inches from the bottom(a 1/4 inch less than bottom of charcoal grate) and seemed to work well. Only needed one plus open for most of the cook and at one point only one was open. There is still some lump in there but it was heaping full when I started. I have some more drums sitting here and I intend to move them along to friends and relatives as I learn from earlier designs.
Good luck - enjoy.
