Why does the intake have to be moved up?
This may have been asked before, but this thread is f'in HUGE and it is not THAT nagging to me to read through every post to find out.

Chris, I set mine up with the extended vertical air intake because I'm 6'6" and bending over to tend the air intake would be a real PIA! My build was inspired by a video I had saw about Snail and his DrumSmokers in which he had a single vertical air intake and a single exhaust. And I had a Viola moment....Or are we talking about placement of the horizontal intake at the bottom of the drum?
