I am in the process of ordering a customer basket from Arbor Fabs and need assistant on basket size. I am also building a COFI tube to use for recirculation. Originally I was going to go as wide as possible, but the worry of a thin grain bed would render the COFI tube useless and a vacuum would be created because not enough room around the basket.
Basket dimensions I am requesting is 14.5" OD Wide X 13" High. The feet will be 3.5" to clear the heating element, which is at 3". I am also adding u-hooks, which will result the final OD to be 15.5".
I have already purchased my Spike 15 Gallon Kettle and Controller. This is the last piece of the puzzle!
So for my research I'm trying to find the following answers:

So for my research I'm trying to find the following answers:
- Is there a full of thumb on basket sizing with your kettle?
- Is there a webpage to help estimate how high your grain bed would be in a basket?
- Given the ID of the kettle is a little over 15.5", should I make the basket smaller to allow it to fit in better
