Newbie needs an advice

[tjb77494]

Hello All,

Glad to be here!
I am new member seeking an advise on a design.It is vertical smoker (stainless steel Members Choice) w
hich sits on the 16X8X8 concrete block and I am adding off-set fire box (Concrete blocks 16X8X4). My primary fuel charcoal and mostly wood.

Upright base is 48" tall concrete base and stainless steel MC cabinet sits on top of it.

I need an advise on the size of opening from firebox to upright piece.

My firebox is 31X19X20 and side opening to Upright is 8X8

Is 8X8 is big enough. I would like to be able to adjust temp from 120F-250F.

Thanks for advise Tom.

I noticed this was almost a cpl weeks old.  Did you get an answer to your question yet?  I am not a builder so can't really help myself -- just concerned a new guy hasn't found the help he is looking for.
