Smoker Chimney height

Our good member DaveOmak (Rip) was a wizard at math and pit building as well as many other things. One thing he left this forum with was a pit building calculator. Comprised by himself and many others.

This is the best guide/calculator that I know of to give build answers based off any build size. These are based on reverse flow horizontal pits but the numbers for volumes are always the same.

Most answers for build questions can be answered here.

Eh, let's just say I don't always agree with some of the assumptions made.

I had a similar situation and ended up calling the trusted chimney and fireplace experts in Fort Worth, and they handled the mess and safety checks way better than I could’ve on my own. Their techs were super clean and didn’t rush anything. The pricing was chill too, especially with their discounts. If your fireplace’s acting up, they’re worth a shot.
