Wandering around with a bag of matchlight, looking for a match.
Hello,
I’m looking for constructive advice to remedy my recently built custom smoker which is made of block, firebrick and stone exterior. Th problem is my firebox is way too hot the top and it is smoke and expanding upward cracking the exterior mortar joint. I’ve added pictures of the whole unit and the problems. There is a steel plate baffle system under the bluestone top on the firebox with vents, but the bluestone top still heats up to 275 degrees F. Need some masonry advice.
Many thanks for any advice. Sorry some pictures are not straight
