I need help with getting my build going. I am new to building and designing smokers. I feel that I have got everything figured out except the smoke stack. I have looked everywhere to try and verify what the calculator is giving me because it does not make sense.
I am having my ag department at my school build me a a basic straight forward offset smoker. The cooking chamber is going to be 20in diameter pipe and 48in long. The firebox will be a little oversized at 20in diameter pipe and 18in long. The smoke stack will be made out of 4.5 in pipe. When I use Feldman's calculator I am getting that it should be just under 18in which sounds really short. Also where do I measure the 18in from?. The smoke stack will exit at grate level out the end and the bend straight up. Do I measure from where it exits at or how far above the smoker it stretches.
Any help that points me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
