Wandering around with a bag of matchlight, looking for a match.
Hello everyone this is my first post to the forums. I have appreciated many of the topics as I built my first Ugly Drum last year. I started out with the hook & cook style with meat hanging rods, tractor disc for the coals, etc. I have now ventured into the other style that uses a charcoal basket and no rods but just racks to put the meat on. I am finding that the charcoal lasts much longer this way.
Simple question and please feel free to refer me to a previous thread. How much air intake vs outflow is optimal?. Currently I have 3-3/4" holes on the bottom of the drum and have 8-3/4" holes in the lid. What is the most common formula out there? Twice as much outflow as intake or there about? I realize that I can reduce or increase air intake as the cook goes on by either closing off or opening up air intake. Thanks.
