I start sketching the arch and the total length would be around 6.5'. A 20" (L) x 18" (W) fire box should be enough? I think it should give me enough space to put the wood both way.
The "Ramp" is what I'm questioning. How step the ramp should be and how close from the pan the flat after the ramp should be?
I read many thread in this forum last night and from what I read 8" seems to be a good start but maybe 5 or 6 is better?
Thanks for your time!
Since no one has called him out, I will. I think it needs to be known that (could handle more if needed) means (how much my wife lets me get away with).
Back to you guys for the other info 😀
