I have a Brinkman Stillwater offset smoker and the smoke stack exits the smoking chamber from the side, not from the back like the CharGrillers alot of you have. I have read about extending the stack down to grate level but my smoker is kind of small and I don't want to lose any grilling space by having the vent hose resting on the cooking grate. My question is has anyone modded the chimney on their offsets to exit below the level of the cooking grate? If so, how did it work out for you. This mod would involve some cutting torch/welding time so I was hoping for some advice before I go cutting holes in my new smoker. Thanks for any replies and happy queing.
