Smoker question (help)

[big brother smoke]

I am having a catering rig built as we speak and I need some guidance as to how tall the smoker cylinder should be on the rig. For instance the measurement is 72 x ? x 24. I am concerned about the last number only and forgot the middle number for the measurement (this is suppose to be a two shelf unit).

Does this seem about right or should I look for a taller cylinder?

Did I confuse folks? Need more details, etc

Do you mean the upright? Are you using pipe?

Zilla,

It is a pipe.

Or by "cylinder", are you referring to the top to bottom height on the cooking chamber ?

If it is a circle, the 24" width (depth of chamber front to back) would have to be the same as the height if it is a perfect circle. The bottom grate would then be in the middle at 12".

Cylinder was just a lack of a better word. I am talking old propane tank.
