So I have decided to build another smoker . I build a side fire box last year and love it but I want to try a revers flow . I went and got 2 24"x36" pipe am building 2 one for me and one to sell . This is what I got so fare
 
On feldons pit builder it says for a half moon fb to cc 10.90 " or 46.66 Squre inchs how big is that I don't really under stand the 10.90 half Moon
 
If Feldon's says use 47 sq in., make it 71.... When using Feldon's. make the FB 100% of actual size in the calcs.... then use the numbers.... then multiply the FB/CC opening x 1.5... that give a better smoker...... use this formula for the size of the FB/CC opening....
http://www.1728.org/circsect.htm .... Use Radius and Segment Height ED to figure the opening......
