I am building a horizontal rf smoker. Will be using a chuck of 30x54.5 in pipe which is 38504.25 cubic inch.
The firebox will be 24x28.375in pipe which is 12836.17 cubic inches. The firebox will be placed perpendicular to the cooking chamber.
The vent pipe will be 6x22.71in which is 641.81 cubic inches. The fire box air inlet will be 3-4in holes? The firebox to cook chamber opening 6x18in?
Was wondering what you guys think. Do I have to hit the cubic inch numbers on the money for the air inlet and firebox to chamber or can I go a little bigger?
Does the vent have to come off the top of the cooking chamber or would it be better to come out the center end of pipe then 90 up?
Door opening on the cooking chamber was thinking twelve o'clock to 1in below three o'clock. Go bigger or smaller? How much room should I leave at the end of reverse flow plate to the end of pipe?
The grill should be even with the bottom of the door correct?
thanks
