Cut out the old 5” flue and installed a 7” diameter flue with a built in butterfly so as to adjust flue gasses and regulate temperature. I don’t like how the two tanks are joined together and I would never build a pit this way and who ever heard of flat doors on a round pit. The guy who originally built this pit cut many corners and was not thinking. Before I rebuilt this pit it leaked smoke everywhere and was not efficient. Now it has been tested, no smoke leaks, cooks very well, holds heat and is now most efficient. The trick is to control air in and gasses out to balance the flow through the pit and smoker. Customer was very pleased, he stated he uses not even half the wood he used to use.
