This is my latest project, a vertical smoker with offset firebox.
I have perused alot of different threads on various web sites and am trying to incorperate all that I have learned.
The basic dimensions are shown in the picture, and I have tweeked them some based on the BBQ Pit Builder Calculator web site.
I will be using gaskets on both the firebox and smoking chamber doors.
I plan to build it from 1/4" metal. The opening between the firebox and chamber is 12" x 6.5".
The reason for two exhaust stacks are two fold. 1) Based on the calculator, I need 6" diam. pipe, not readily available in my area, and the place I did find it, sells it in 20 foot lengths. The exhaust stacks are only 24 inches high( again, based on the calculator).
My thought process is that I can use two, 3 inch diam pipes, and by having them offset like in the picture, may create a more even air flow thru the smoking chamber.
So, if y'all dont mind, please critique my plans, both bad, and good are all welcome.
Thanks
