I;m wanting to build my first smoker. Need some opinions. I have a piece of pipe to start with. 20" pipe 50" long. I want to cut off !8" and use this for my fire box. This will be a horizontal smoker. I've looked at the build calculator but don't know how to break down the numbers to know what shape and size to cut opening to smoke chamber. And exactly where as to just below grate or what. will this size chamber and fire box work? I don't need anything bigger for what I cook at any given time. Just wondering what others might think. Thanks Wayne
