The smoker I built has worked awesome for years now as is but I have been asked a couple of times to smoke more than I can at once lately...11 briskests And 2 rolls of Bologna was the last request! ( that was a long weekend)
My current setup has a smoke chamber 24" pipe 36" long and the firebox is18" x 24" long...I'm thinking about cutting the end off and adding an additional 36" to the smoke chamber for a total of 72" long. What I'm wondering is how long is too long? Will my far end heat up and stay there with the rest or will I run cold at the far end? Maybe increase the firebox size as well?
I was going to start from scratch and build a whole new smoker from 36" pipe until I priced it yesterday :icon_eek: $620.00 just for the smoke chamber! Figured I better find a cheaper alternative so I thought of just expanding my current smoker if possible so I come to the better smoking minds for advise!
Not a great picture but you will get the idea what I have now
