Smoking friends,
I have a MES 30 and I want to use it in my garage because it's cold outside. I know the smoker is well insulated and usually handles fine outside, but I hate getting wet and I don't have a covered patio so the snow falls on it (even with the cover, it still gets wet).
So I had (what I thought was) a brilliant idea. I would use foil tape and put a dryer vent hose to it, then vent it out my old doggie door. Some are saying this won't work because the vent on the house is lower than the vent on the smoker. I know that heat rises and stuff, but if it's constrained to a 4" hose, so shouldn't that force the smoke outwards? I can put an inline fan in there, but I don't want to pull too much smoke away from the meat. Help please. I'll add pics so you can see my setup.
