The smoke in the garage is do to not enough pipe out side of your chimny it shoud be at least 2 feet above your roof top to draw the smoke out of the unit. Just  like a wood burner in your home . It works for me anyway...

I was kinda expecting that to be the case. I would have to run another 25 feet of pipe to achieve that situation. I am in a two story home, plus I was trying to stay under the home owners association's radar, lol.

I just used an over the range microwave that had a built in vent-a-hood and vented it out the side of the house no smoke stack needed. I just turn the fan on low and placed my MES under it.

If you don't mind another hole in the wall, just make a fresh air intake down low and behind the smoker. You can either run it into the smoker or into the mailbox. If you only have a 4 inch pipe exhaust, you'd only need a 4 inch pipe intake, but I'd put a damper in it in case you don't need that much draft.

Finally was able to install the countertop in the garage this weekend.  Stuffed some snack sticks and summer sausage on Sunday.  I am really happy with the new setup, it is nice to have my own work area.  I need a light source over the bench though, I stuffed the snack sticks while wearing my hunting headlamp, lol.

Looks awesome, I'm jealous of the dedicated space you have!

That is awesome!  I just showed this to my brother... he could use something like this in his house.

Thanks everyone!  I appreciate the kind comments, and have really been enjoying this setup since it's completion.  

An update on the garage door, I originally thought it had to be open 6 to 8 inches to avoid smoke backing up out of the mailbox.  After several smokes I have discovered that as long as the seal is broken between the rubber gasket on the bottom of the roll up door and the garage floor it works like a champ.  I have been opening the garage door less than 1 inch and the smoke draws out perfectly.
