I'm getting ready to call the machine shop to have the steel for my new pit rolled. I'm buying a full sheet of 3/8" plate which is 48" wide so I will stick with that for the smoke chamber width. What is the ideal diameter? I was planning on about 26" but am open to suggestions. I can go all the way up to about 29" with the amount of steel I have but that seems excessive. This is my first offset pit and will mostly be used in the backyard with occasional groups of up to 30 or so providing I can figure out how to cook on this thing. I will probably mount it on a trailer or at a minimum, some heavy pneumatic tires. Any thoughts before I call in my order?
