Axle Placement Question

[dbear]

Hey guys, building a smoker trailer and not real sure where to put the axle. Generally, you would use the 60/40 percent split, but not sure when having the smoking closer to the rear of the trailer. I am building it similar to how TQ does with the firebox welded into the rear of the trailer deck. the trailer deck is 12x5, with a 6 foot CC and a 2 foot firebox, which will weld into the rear of the deck. Should I use a 70/30 percent split..or something like that? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I placed mine as far back as possible, in part to make sure the fire box doesn't drag.

Seems like right in front of the FB is typical.
