    Need Help w/ figuring out RF Fuel Tank Smoker/Cooker build

    I am doing a similar build. I have two questions? 1. How far high above the throat opening should you put the RF plate and should it be able to hold water or no? 2. How tall should you make the legs for the tank to stand on? or is it just preference? Thanks for the help.
