I have been reading threads for awhile now and was given an opportunity to DIY my very own legit smoker. I'm in the home stretch and trying to decide on my fire box intake.
It seems that I have had very good test runs with just cracking the door but I have children and think it'll be a bit safer to have the door latched at all times.
My thoughts are to place a 5-6" hole at the base of the door and make a plate on threaded rod that will screw in/out to control the airflow.
My tank is a 120gal @ 24"dia and the firebox was cut 24" long (including the dome). I essentially used the Primitive Pits idea for the "Babe" smoker. The firebox opening is 100sq. in. and my stack is 40" of 4.5" EMT.
Any ideas??
