I have a 55 inch length of 24 inch, .375 wall pipe that I want to build a smoker out of. I have looked at Feldon's design page, but I have a few questions:
1) I don't have any 3/8inch plate. Would 5/16 plate be sufficient for the ends, or should I be using 1/2 inch?
2) Based on Feldon's calculator I plan on a 20x20x24 in long firebox. Is 5/16 plate sufficient for that? Do my dimensions make sense?
3) Will 5 inch pipe work for the chimney?
4) would one centered 30 inch door work or would I be better off with 2 smaller doors?
This is my first build and I really want to get it right.
