Help with grate placement please
Hi,
I'm in the final stages of planning, built my charcoal basket and ash tray last night, very excited!
The only thing i'm unsure about is the grate placement. I'll probably only use one but would like to have the option of two when I find a weber lid.
So, my barrel internal height is 33.5"
Charcoal grate is 3" off the bottom
Basket is 9" high
If, as most suggest, I place the grate at 24" about the charcoal grate, that leaves 6.5" from the top. Is that enough to get a 2nd level in at the top if I get a weber lid? I want to be sure I have enough height for pork butt, chickens etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again to this great thread
