    Questions about my smoker design.

    Here are some pics of my smoker build, as promised. I decided to go with a double-walled, insulated, stainless steel design. Looks like I'll be handing this one down to my grandkids. More pics to come. Thanks for all the help and advice.

    Chimney Size

    So since I will be running the exhaust past the second floor of a building, do you think I should go with a smaller diameter chimney? According to the pit building calculator, if I use a 6" chimney, it should be about 18" tall, if I use a 8" chimney, it should be about 12" tall. I'm just not...

    Questions about my smoker design.

    There must be some scrap yards around, but I've never seen a big propane tank like back in the States. People generally use smaller tanks which are delivered by motorbike. Around here there are no gas heaters, only rarely used little electric space heaters, so you only need gas to cook with. I...

    Questions about my smoker design.

    I might try to find a company that makes these paper money burners and get something made to use instead of the barrels. It would all be one piece and it could be a bit shorter and have a larger diameter.

    Questions about my smoker design.

    I wasn't planning on it. Is it absolutely necessary? If it makes any difference, the temperature never gets below 50 degrees F here. If it is necessary or beneficial, how would you go about insulating them?

    Questions about my smoker design.

    So here's the design I will be using. I am trying to calculate the firebox to cooker openings for each cooking chamber based on the recommended volume of the firebox. Since this design will basically be running 2 separate cooking chambers from one firebox, I have calculated the firebox size...
