    Radius= 8.75 Segment  height HD  = 3.2        CALC CHORD AB = 13.529 Apothem OE = 5.55 Central Angle = 101.27 ARC AB = 15.465 circumfrance = 54.9 segment area = 30.116 triangle area  =37. sector area = 67.59 total circle area = 240.53 So in this example, the width of the RF plate is...

    Dave, that helps a lot.  Using that, here is what I come up with.  It is pretty close to the other calculator as well. Volume = 7696 FB/CC opening = 30.78 square inches area under RF plate = 30.78 square inches (is this then the actual size of the plate?) area at end of RF plate = 30.78...

    Please review my work before I start cutting things up!  I also have a few questions if you do not mind. Currently I have a big green egg and a weber smoky mountain.  I like the egg for grilling but I am not loving it for smoking (I know it can be a great smoker, but I prefer traditional).  the...
