Hello all! Developing smoker here. Me and my roommates have decided we want to get an Oklahoma Joe's Highland smoker as it's the best we could find within our budget. After doing research, we have decided the first mod we want to do is a bigger stack. The question is what material is safe to use? For context, I work at an electrical distribution warehouse so I have all the EMT/IMC pipe, elbows and the like at my disposal you can imagine. My thoughts were get a 3" or 4" set screw connector and elbow and attach it in place of the original stack. Would that be safe? Is there any other material that you recommend? I'm not trying to give us cancer in the pursuit of good barbecue lol. I was thinking about throwing the elbow and connector in fire pit and burning off residual machine oil but just am not sure if that would be enough. Any and all advice welcome. Thank you in advance!
