Hey guys I'm sure these questions have already been answered a few times but I can't seem to find them.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
I'm getting ready to build a side firebox smoker.
I used the formula for a reverse flow smoker to get my numbers, even though it won't be a reverse flow. Is that ok to do? Or is there another formula I should be using?
The pipe I will be using is 19 3/16 ID (19.1875) This is for the CC and FB
CC- 48" long= 13,879.34 CI
FB- min vol calls for 4,580.1833 CI
I've got a piece of pipe already cut that will equal 7,951.7071 CI. Would this be to much?
I can cut it down if I need to, just trying to save oxygen and gas if possible.
If I can use this over sized FB will that change the FB/CC opening, along with the air inlet openings, and also the exhaust stack vol?
Or can I use the numbers the formula calls for
