[Syrupmakers] chimney design

     You can use what ever size chimney you want,  you will need to put a damper in it to control your air flow.

    I question if you even need a chimney?  I was having trouble getting my burners to work and a friend told me I wasn't getting enough air so we put a 3 inch brick under each corner and raised the cooker so the air would come in from the bottom.  It still didn't work until I completely closed the damper.  Now it heats up real good.

Tracey,

Go to  http://www.vpstack.com/ & select Literature.  There are a 
couple of pdfs on chimney sizing.  They also will do the calculations 
for you if you wish (once you get the system parameters fixed).

Best wishes.
