Offset smoker rack height

[Blwaz23]

This will be my first time building an offset smoker, I was wondering how high up should the first rack be in the cook chamber from the opening of the firebox to the cook chamber?

Will those formulas also work for a normal offset smoker?

For the exhaust plenum how far out should it stick from the side of the smoker?

The plenum should stick out far enough to accommodate the exhaust stack...
