24" X 48" Horz. Smoker Questions?
I have a couple questions about racks and tuning plates in a 24" diameter smoker. Question 1??? How much clearance is optimal between the lower cooking racks and the upper cooking racks? I have a layout designed for a smoker build and have about 5 1/2" clearance between the racks. Is this enough clearance? If I move the upper rack up any more I am afraid I will be too close to the top of my pit. Question 2??? How far below the lower cooking racks should the tuning plates be? Thanks for advise in advance.

On my 24" x 55" I built The grates are 6" apart top to top, my tuning plates are 6" below the top of the lower grate
