Nice job Joe, "Welding tips and Tricks" is a really good resource to see how it really works. He does a better job than most of getting a view of the puddle with good narrative. I bought his tig finger to support the site and it really works well.
Most people put the vent at or very near the top of the cook chamber. That is where the heat stacks up and heat is what generates flow out the chimney. Higher is better for an efficiently flowing reverse flow smoker.
Fair enough, I guess I'm speaking for myself and I'm not always prompt to answer when issues come up but I do like guys to think out of the box. There is a lot of time that goes into building one of these things, I know, mine is stalled but I hope to get on track shorty if crap would stop...
No worries Ink, we are a community of equal opportunity helpers only trying to keep guys from making some of the mistakes we have made. Its all good. I went through engineering school with dyslexia in the days of the slide rule and was married to a bipolar chick, I get it. You have some good...
I get why this is confusing, I think.... I believe Dave was saying even if you have the 1/4" divider, it would end up getting really hot in there and could end up lighting the wood in that chamber. If you didn't leave it in there too long, it would work and I think you have a good idea. If you...

I would hang a...
Looks great Joe! Glad to hear you son and daughter are showing interest in your project. There is nothing better you can do than to teach your kids some skills, these days most only excel at video games. Well done sir!
Don't worry, you aren't losing your hair, you will find it growing out of...
I think you will be fine with that clearance above the RF plate. Your height for the stack is good as long as the volume meets the calculations, round pipe flows better than what you have but if everything else is on point, it should be OK. You can always cut the inside part of the stack off if...
What about the side of the firebox under the CC, if it won't be insulated, you could put a small wood rack down there and let the radiant heat from the FB heat it up. Since you wouldn't be leaving it there that long, I imagine it would warm up good but not catch fire right away since it is...
