Someone passed this along to me when I was building a big one last year. It's a pretty good tool.

Thats some pretty technical information. The formula for the chimney doesn't really make sense to me. They say I need a 30'' stack and that is the chimney sitting on top of the tank, not at all like a plan on building mine. I think I will start around 5' then work my way down. I guess it's a good way to start, but I'm more of a trial and error guy where I'm pretty heavy on the error side especially after drinking beer and welding.

So I'm back at it again with being stuck in the shop with all the storms moving in. Got the back trailer supports welded in an just marked out the smoke stack opening. Now I just gotta cut the end cap out of the cook chamber.

Got the end cap cut out, now time to build the smoke stack parts.
