Hi Guru's, coming at you from Oz and I need some input on a stick burner design, if you could indulge me with your experience?
I have been getting acquainted with a COS for the last 18 months and I have destroyed some perfectly innocent pieces of meat as I have been learning the craft.
I am at the point where I can now produce some reasonably edible food off the little sucker but it's just too small.
It's time to go b@lls out and build one, as I can't afford to buy what I am looking for.
I was discussing the design with an Engineer friend and he suggested putting the firebox in the middle, underneath with outlets into the cook chamber on two sides.
The idea is that it halves the size of the openings and means the firebox can sit lower in the cook chamber, therefore maximising the space. I am thinking of an 'RF' plate over the firebox with gaps at each end, and the chimney in the middle.
After spending some time dredging the forums here I have seen this sort of thing only hinted at.
Has anyone had any experience along these lines?
Really appreciate any input on this, I have a 22" x 33" air tank and a mig in the shed ready to go!!
Thanks in advance
