That's a relief, thanks for that. I'll run through those calculations you gave me tomorrow after a good sleep. Yep I did open it up and have a read, I think somewhere in that thread or maybe another one you made a post about hoods bending when cutting out. I was cutting out mine and it started...

My apologies, I didn't fully grasp it before but now I understand it(I hope) The calculator gave me a FB-CC opening of 23.40 And this is what I got from the segment calculator Then I'm assuming I add 1/4inch on top of that for the thickness of the firebox Am I in the ball park? Again...

I went off this when I originally worked everything out months ago

Well 3.5 is better than 4.5 haha. I don't know how I missed by so much. I know it's not on you to work everything out for newbies on their builds but that 3.5 is spot on? Thanks so much I really appreciate it. You've saved me a lot of heartache and anger haha

So I haven't been on here for awhile, had stuff going on. Anyway I'm slowly getting along with my build and need some advice on my firebox intakes. I've marked on the box where I'm thinking of putting the door and intakes but started think having all the intakes under the fire level might not be...

Hi all So I'm attempting a smoker build and to say I'm not totally grasping the maths behind it would be an understatement. The tank I'm using has an overall length of 33inches and a diameter of 18.5inches, if my math is correct it would be about 33 gallons and that's with allowing less volume...

Hi all. My names Matt I'm in Melbourne Victoria and very new to the world of smoking apart from a few pork ribs on the weber, ribs here suck as they don't leave much meat on them. I'm in the process of making a smoker so I'll have plenty of questions as I don't have much of an idea of the...
