I've been wondering... what about air holes in these RUBs? I mean, how do you create them, how many, etc. ?

If anyone has some pics that show all that, that would be great.

for air holes you would want to drill about 5 small holes at each end... high up at the warm end and low down at the cool end... this will allow adequate air flow from convection... and ofc make sure the holes aren't big enough for snakie to get thru!

iv just put holes in my RUBs using a metal skewer and heating it on the gas cooker and then putting it through the sides/top.. I've also put in some extra holes so I can hang some vines up in it aswell
