Yes. I said it. Its going to be propane. Going to be vertical. Going to put double doors. One for food, the other for chips/water pan. I've researched a good bit, but I haven't found anyone specify what size burner they used. I normally smoke about 225-250. Does anyone have any suggestions to burner size?
So heres what I'm thinking. I'm going to use this 55k burner. take the legs off. Cut a circle in the bottom of the drum, and drop the burner down through. I will use the "cook top" portion of the burner for my cast iron chip pan. I am going to weld legs on the drum, and there will be roughly 12 inches between the bottom of the drum and the ground. Do I need to be concerned about the temperature of the bottom of the drum, and the propane plumbing being under it?
