Default making venturi tubes for a big cooker

Hello group .
I am a newbie here but have had excellent info from other groups I
subscribe to . I am building a 36 " wide by 72"s long grill to do whole
pigs on after butterflying them . I want to incorporate a propane
heating system in the unit .I need info regarding orfice size and the
inlet for the propane .I have seen these big ubits with 1 or 2 tubes
going length wise with a deflector built over them to keep food off of
them and can not locate any place to get them or that offers info .If
any one has any good info or web site would like to hear fropm them .

Thank you ahead of time .

You could probably use metal pipe that had holes drilled and tapped to
accept the orifice for propane gas, but I'd go the easy route and simply
purchase any old turkey fryer and use the 70,000 btu burner. It should be
more than enough, you can set a cast iron skillet on top the burner and set
a log in there for smoke if you wanted.

Contact Big Jim at lazyq.com. He builds large trailer mounted cookers with
a gas burner all the time. He can supply you with a drop in burner that will

accept an iron pan for the smoke chunks. It works great and it's a proven
concept.
