Looking at the Pitts and Spits smoker discussed on this thread...

I noticed just how short the stack is on the Pitts and Spits smoker in question, which got me thinking about the stack height on my current offset and how much I appreciate it.
The stack tip on my Big Phil's offset stands a full 6' 10" above ground level. I'm only 5' 10" on a good day (realistically more like 5' 9", but I like to claim I'm as tall as my wife who's a long-legged smokin' hot blond :grin. Anyhow, with the smoke exiting the stack a full foot+ above my head, I really enjoy never having the smoke blowing directly in my face when I'm hanging around the offset. Plus I have done a lot of work in my day job developing natural gas turbine power plants, and I think tall stacks are cool.
After my current offset with its luxury tall stack, it would be hard for me to go back to a cooker where the stack was short enough to blow smoke right into my face.
