gmasterpfautz, that was one great adventure, thank you! I bow to your skill and ingenuity. You should be, and I'm sure you are, very proud of your end product. Walk tall, be proud, for you are the Baron.
You'd like to see the finished product? Then go back 1 page. It's been completed for over a year and a half.
I like the plans, not to be redundant ventilating the tanks is highly recommended. The trailer option based on the size and the weight seems to be a good idea. What is the cubic space for cooking? Wood stove gaskets around the edges and nice latches are another suggestion I would throw at you. Giving it a tight seal will make all the difference. Good luck, would love to see pictures of the finished product.
Veritas they are building a reverse flow here. You can see the heat plate is coming off fire box and they are using the end dome as the return hot air/smoke so it comes across grates to the stack. I imagine the drawing could have shown the flow but it is what I am understanding this to be.
I would suggest 2 things. (1) put the vent stack on the other end of the tank away from the heat source and (2) make sure you do a test run BEFORE the wedding. There is nothing worse than all smoke and no pull.
