    My first RF smoker build

    That's a relief, thanks for that. I'll run through those calculations you gave me tomorrow after a good sleep. Yep I did open it up and have a read, I think somewhere in that thread or maybe another one you made a post about hoods bending when cutting out. I was cutting out mine and it started...

    Well 3.5 is better than 4.5 haha. I don't know how I missed by so much. I know it's not on you to work everything out for newbies on their builds but that 3.5 is spot on? Thanks so much I really appreciate it. You've saved me a lot of heartache and anger haha

    I'm assuming with most of the air intake on the bottom vents?

I've marked on the box where I'm thinking of putting the door and intakes but started think having all the intakes under the fire level might not be...

    My first RF smoker build

    Hi all So I'm attempting a smoker build and to say I'm not totally grasping the maths behind it would be an understatement.
