Still in the making but see a smoke problem, even with it open and a ridge vent to much smoke is staying in the shed. Need more upward draw, got any ideas?

Put a hatch in the roof like a maple sugar house ? , Looks nice to me!

Ceiling fan or hood vent. The ceiling fan may create enough draw to get the smoke out your ridge vent.

You may need to pipe your smoker. Looks like you use an egg. Use a chunk of flex from the egg to a rigid pipe out the roof.

Out of curiosity how wide is your ridge vent? Full length?

Also meant to add that an exhaust fan (like in a bathroom may get you enough draw too. bit cheaper than the other two fans I mentioned.

Power Vent       Just type in Roof power vents big selection   I think that would be perfect for such a nice looking cook shed

If you don't want to make a roof penetration, try a power gable vent since it's wood and won't have to worry about a possible roof leak down the road.

 Dirt; The ridge is 6" wide with 3/4" of vent space  and a little over 8' long the whole thing is only a 8x10. The egg will go on the back side in the nest for now, next will be more brick/paver's between the shed floor and the back porch where the egg is now.

Thanks for the idea

Like this idea, the next home project is to replace bathroom fans. A little redneck engineering and this might work.
