Starting to build a new smoker and want to make sure my figures are correct...here we go... the tank is 24" diameter x 83" long...I built a 24"x24"x24" square firebox...I have a 5 1/2" OD pipe for my chimney that says it has to be 27.89" long...I cut 2 openings in the bottom of the side of the firebox closest to the firebox door away from the CC so I have 1 in the front of the firebox and 1 in the back...the holes are 3"x9" for the dampers that I can completely close or open with a sliding door...went bigger than the calculator said just incase I ever needed more air flow...My biggest issue is I can't figure out what size or how to mark my firebox to CC opening...all help would be greatly appreciated from a 1st time pit builder...thx and have a good one
