Questions on my build

Post by wannabsmoker » October 3rd, 2015, 11:29 am

Hey guys i was wondering if yall could go over my numbers make sure they are right before i fire up the torch. A friend of mine wants me to make him a rf smoker that is 72in long X 20in diameter pipe. The numbers that i got was from this forums calculator and Pete Mazz throat opening calculator.The only concern i got is that the fb is a little to big .

CC
20x72
FB
22Lx18Wx22H 115%
Rec throat opening
69.69sqin
Throat opening
17 7/8W x 5 1/2T
70.47sqin
Stack
4x36

Ideally the firebox should be @105% to 107%. Play with the size of firebox in the calculator to get down to that ratio. Hope this helps.

A 20 x 22 x 18" FB calcs to 105% and a 64 Sq In Throat. A 5" h cut-out will give you that w/o a grease dam and a 32" stack. If you change the size of one thing in the calc, everything else changes.


If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?
