Full Fledged Farker
I'm going to build my own charcoal box, but I have a couple of questions. Like everything else in BBQ, it all seems easy until you actually do it. I have a Brinkmann Cimarron:
1) How tall should it be? Should it be any higher than the opening of where the firebox joins the smoke chamber.
2) How high off the bottom of the firebox should it be? Obviously the deeper the box is (front to back dimension) the higher off the floor it'll be.
3) I'm assuming I should make it as big as I can but limited by the ability to get it in and out. I'm just looking for some rough dimensions. Should be smaller footprint and taller, or larger footprint and shorter?
4) Am I supposed to take the log light out after the coals are list. I haven't since there's a locking screw on it and figured it's okay as a permanent install.
Thanks in advance!
