• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

I am working on firebricking the firebox of my bandera. My question is what level for the fire grate have you all found to be the best? I have tried the 2nd and 3rd from the bottom with mixed results. Again I think its more operator error then problems with my bandera. Thanks in advance for helping this Bar-b-q greenhorn from ohio.
 
I always use the bottom one, but I think I had airflow issues this weekend trying Al's firebasket. But that is a write up for a different post.

I only use those small ceramic briquettes to keep the ash pan up off the floor of the firebox. So with a firebrick, I would venture to guess no higher than second level off the bottom

Just a guess though. Still havent done the firebrick mod.
 
Chilli,
I use the bottom level on the stock rack holders for the firegrate.
Works fine for me and will be even better when my new firegrate gets back from the welder :lol:

As a Michigan fan living in Ohio, I will say that sounds like a great use for that "Brutus Buckeye" fellow and all his scarlet and gray buddies! Great thinking Brian.
