It has been quite a while since I updated progress on my build. Not long after this last post, spring had sprung and then came summer and little progress was made. Sometime in mid-August, I picked up the grinding wheel and welder to get back at this beast of a project. My wife grew tired of the nois...

So, I cut the plate to separate the smoker and grill short by a half inch... I didn't follow the golden rule: measure twice, cut once. All this metal working and welding is new to me and I now have even more appreciation for the smokers produced on this site. This is probably a stupid question, but ...

Next, I need to cut out the center plate that will separate the smoke chamber from the grill and was thinking of putting in an air/smoke diverter that would allow me to cold smoke in the grill chamber. Is this a bad idea? Would I need to size the opening equal to the external intake diverter?

My firebox is 160% oversized, so I think I can spare an inch and raise the grate.

What do you guys think about dual smoke stacks?

It has been a few weeks and have made some visual progress, see below. I have questions how to proceed... 1) I bought a 3in pipe for the smoke stack, the calculator say it needs to be 51" but says most are between 30-40". To move the smoker out of my garage, I can't go longer than 30in. Will this be...

OK, I will lower the fire grate. What about placement of the air intake? Should that be below the grate also or level with the fire grate? The CC will be split between the smoker 30" and the remaining a grill. I find myself wanting or needing to grill the same day I smoke. I was thinking of adding a...

My cook chamber is going to be 24" D x 30"L. If I enter the actual size of FB which I have already cut at 24" D x 17" L, it is oversized by 70%. A 24"D x 12"L FB would still be 20% over and provide the intake, FB2CB opening and exhaust calculations for the heat and air flow sufficient for the CC. I ...

This is my first post to the forum, but I have been lurking for over year learning and researching to build a replacement for my aging cheap offset smoker. This site has been a great resource! I am starting to build a combo reverse flow smoker and grill combo hybrid like the Lang Hybrid 36" Smoker C...
