I have read a lot of the builds here.
My son and I are building a smoker/grill out of a 60 gal air compressor tank.
I found the calculator and figured out most of the details.
One question I have is why would the vent stack need to be so tall for a narrower diameter?
It says if I go with a single 4" pipe it'll need to be about 18" tall, if I remember correctly.
If I go with a 6" it only needs to be 8" tall or so......if I remember right......
The other question is.............would 1/2" of rock wool insulation sammiched in between steel, 1/8" outside and 1/4" inside, be ok for the fire box?
This is my first build and I'd like to get it right, or as close as possible.
Thanks for any and all help.
