Warming box Question

[bwsdj]

What are the pros and cons of having a Warming box over the firebox or at the opposite end of the pit?? I have seen them both ways, and was kind of leaning to putting it at the opposite end of the firebox. Would love any Tips/suggestions

Thanks Brad

I'm sure someone with experience with both types will chime in here...

I've been thinking I might like a box on both ends like DJ, a poster here has.

What is the Average size of a Warming Box, or is there any kind of " Rule of Thumb for this. I was at the welding shop today and my buddy and I were trying to determine what size to build it. any help would be greatly appreciated. My pit i am building is a 325 gallon Tank 30" diameter x 115" in length, will have 3 -30" doors. Dont know if that helps at all thanks again

No rule of thumb that I know of.. Giventhe dimensions of the tank, I would probably build the box 30" x 30" and as tall as you can comfortably reach the top shelf when it's trailer mounted.
