    Help on Air intake - My attempt at "Mailbox mod"

    Oh, I also saw this in homedepot.... Anyone have any experience with an in-line fan like this? Seems like a solid idea, but I also worry about creosote gunking it up quickly. Thought it might be great in the stack though....

    Help on Air intake - My attempt at "Mailbox mod"

    Huge thank you to everyone for taking the time to respond to a newbie. I got my hole saw in today and got it rough fitted. Ended up doing the following: 1. Drilled 1/8 inch holes, 2 inches from the bottom of the pan, inserted a SS bolt and fastened with a nut so the rack the AMNPS sits on is...

    Help on Air intake - My attempt at "Mailbox mod"

    Th Whoa, you just blew my mind. 🤯 I'm by no means an engineer, so that is incredibly useful info. Thank you! I noticed you mentioned a stack - does that help quite a bit? I'm in "build mode" so would rather do fabrication now. If it helps substantially, and suggestion on stack height?

    Help on Air intake - My attempt at "Mailbox mod"

    SmokinEdge, Thanks for your advice - that's exactly the question I was trying to answer. I saw posts using an actual mailbox talking about two holes low in the door, then one higher in the door to help the draft. In this oval pot, it seemed more complicated. Maybe four smaller holes low (below...

    Help on Air intake - My attempt at "Mailbox mod"

    Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'm going to start with 4 1/4 inch holes, two on each side, similar to your suggestion. Then bore out the holes to a larger diameter if the AMNPS is chocking out. Very much appreciate everyone's input! Going to do the typical first smoke... Boston butt. Will...

    Help on Air intake - My attempt at "Mailbox mod"

    Hi SmokinEdge, Thanks for your response. I'm asking where should I still air intake holes in the roasting pan, which I'm using for a external smoke box. I saw suggestions when using a mailbox... Those seemed to suggest 3 holes in the door. Two near the bottom of the door, one at the top of the door

    Help on Air intake - My attempt at "Mailbox mod"

    Hi SMF Master's, I'm new to this forum, but have deep diving through all of your valuable contributions since Thanksgiving. Apologies in advance for this being a long-winded post. I'm still a total newbie, but tried my best to read through as much of the wisdom you all have compiled. Just...
