I've been looking at lots of different ideas for abeing outdoor cooker. The Aprovecho simple L tube cooker looks a LOT easier to build. How does it compare to a J tube if both are made of brick?

I suspect that the J takes a bit less active fire management once you have it running.

Seems like the J Is taller if you follow the 1/2/4 ratio. Will an L tube Aprovecho of the same height have similar performance?

Thanks.
