Smoke Blower
I thought about the extra drain at the bottom of the smoker too but it's just more work than necessary. What I do is Lift the front up on the smoker and let it drain out of the firebox.
Yep and you can always extend it with an adjustable mod.I had the same issue with excessive heat until I installed a baffle similar to what Dave had posted earlier
I would deffinatly not install the stack way in the chamber. I did that at first and had to cut it out , way too much smoke and follow the stack length closely. I had mine a little too long and the smoker ran hot and inconsistent.
