Hello all, I´m Alfredo, 39, from Spain. (first BBQbrether here)
I´m newbie into the smoking (so newbie that I don´t have built my UDS yet)
I have questions for the UDSmasters...
1: VENTS
I´ve seen anything about venting it, 3x3/4 + valve , 1x1-1/2 + valve, big hole coverable below, sliding input...
I "decided" to go for:
2 inputs x 1inch + valve (without tube)
(5400 l/h x2)
or
1 input x 1-1/4 + valve (without tube)
(8500l/h max rated)
+
1output 1-1/4 coverable chimney.
What will you choose?
Is the chimney sufficient?
2: -charcoal basket.
I will make a chimney, as a chimney starter, but with a 25l (6.5 gal) metalic bucket.
I think full one should admit about 15l of charcoal
Will it last for about 8-10 hours?
NOTE: the airflow rates are from a maximun rating table for water tubes.
It´s just an approximation of diferences between sizes.
