Welcome aboard!! If you look at the main page of the forums you'll see a link to the pit master secrets podcast and this was a recent topic. I've seen the FB mounted high on some commercial smokers and some mounted low. My personal thoughts are that if I was going to use tuning plates I would mount the FB as low as possible. However if I wasn't going to use tuning plates I would mount it higher up on the cook chamber and have a deflector that sends the heat up towards the top of the CC, similar to a jambo. Don't forget the grease dam if you decide to mount it low. It also helps to run your numbers through the calculator and make sure everything is properly sized.

Here's the thread on Lou Anne. It's a 1000 gallon build that should give you a good idea for firebox placement.
