Need some help again cause even tho it is all finished im not sure im happy with the way it turned out. Everything is very much to spec to all the calculators but i feel like i am not getting the flow i should be. Just for yall reminder this is a 250gal smoker from and old tank with a 24in x...
Here is an update for yall. The firebox is on, door for it is cut but not finished. All the trim around the cc doors is on. The stack has been put on perfectly center to the smoker and in the middle of the grate. It also has had its first fire to test flow, function, and burn old paint out...
It is 7.5in tall and 7 in wide and it is perfectly center on the smoker. My grate height is also at the half mark in the cc. So the exhaust opening is half below and half above the grates.
I have another question rq. Im about to put the smokestack on and since its on a trailer with a roof i need it at least 6in round and 5ft tall. Do yall think that is too long? I read someone say a stack too long with cool down smoke too much and it will begin to fall back down the stack.
I was afraid of that also but hell it aint gonna hurt i guess. I just kinda got caught up in the fun of the science and math of it all. The thought desiging a smoker or anything to become the most efficient product i can make just fun to me. Challanges me and pushes me to be the best i can be.

Hell even they dont poke around cause its wild county out here lol. But on another note this dam smoker plan has changed like 6 times already. I have found kmmamm is right about this trailer build and i really need to finish the smoker first. Cause now ive learned about insulated fireboxes so...
i guess imma try the spirits. Thats alot of good spirts to use tho. I guess its needed for such a large tank. Do you think i should burn multiple times? Clean and burn and repeat? Im not sure just how much steel absorbs.
