    Conflicting calculations??

    Thanks all, I will stick to the tutorial then :-) It means a bit less space for the foodgrids but the flow en temperature control is more important. My lower grid will be approx. 4 inches above the RF plate. will that be to close burn risks during low n slow sessions? Ron

    New RF smoker project

    Are there any guidelines re. the length of the chimney inside the CC? I designed the pipe cutoff 45 degrees, is that assumption correct? I learned of the comments from @daveomak that there should be no exhaust damper in the chimney... so will leave that out :-)

    New RF smoker project

    First sketches are done, I have lots of questions and will handle them in different replies So first impression... yep, it looks like a smoker. For the dimensions I have gratefully applied what I learned on this forum and I found the online smoker build calculator the RF plate is not level so...
