    Flow problems with my custom build smoker

    It is kind of a mixture of different things I have looked at. The friend who was helping me was from Colorado and I am from Illinois. I decided one day I want to learn to start smoking things and I knew I could build it, but designing it was my weak point. I built it without physically ever...

    Flow problems with my custom build smoker

    Yes smoke does come out the inlet hole. Also when I open the firebox door smoke will flow right out of the fire box.

    Flow problems with my custom build smoker

    Flow problems with my custom build smoker

    I did run the calculations and everything is what it's supposed to be. Another thing I noticed is that when I put charcoal in the cooking chamber to use it for direct heat the coals will go out.

    Flow problems with my custom build smoker

    I built this smoker and it seems like I am trapping all my heat at the firebox. My cooking chamber is 36" long and 16" diameter 1/4" wall pipe. My fire box is 18"x18"x18" 1/4" thick steel. My exhaust is 4" pipe 24" long. It comes out the end similar to a jambo pit. It has a 5.5"x5.5"...
