Got a question that needs to be asked.
Currently designing my double barrel smoker and was pondering of eliminating the side firebox door because of designing/cutting a lifting door for the lower barrel.
That direction would retain the original shape and bung holes... see what I see? If I position and rotate the sealed barrel so the largest 2" NPT hole is on the bottom (6:00 position), that placement is screaming for a 2" ball valve/pipe arrangement very much like the UDS set-up.
Based on area (3.14 * (r^2)) leaves a few similarities...
On most UDS I've read: (4) 1" holes for incoming air equals 3.14 sq. inches.
Using the 2" bung hole/valve roughly equals the same amount in square inches (3.14)
Am I going in a semi-lucid direction? Please advise...
