    Chimney Length

    Thanks for the input guys! I think I may raise it a bit so the lower portion of the plenum is at or just above the cooking grate height.

    Chimney Length

    I've decided to go with 3" ID pipe for the chimney. It will likely be 30-36" in length above the CC. If I find that the draft is being an issue I can always remove some of the length if need be.

    Thanks for the input Joe. I'm thinking of removing all of the door underneath the warmer rather than just boring holes, mainly because I do not want a buildup of junk that I can't clean out. I don't want any place for rust to start that I'm unable to get to fairly easily. Thanks again.

    Thanks guys. And yes I did use the feldons calculator. I then noticed Dave's calculator and checked my smoker against it. all seems to be within spec. just trying to figure out the length of the chimney and where to make the cutout for the plenum.

    I figure I should contribute as this site has given me a ton of info. my build has currently spanned over a year and really sat dormant for most of that time. I've recently picked up where I left off and I'm determined to get this thing done by May 2015. below are some pics of the progress...
