Well spring is here, more things smoking. I solved the weather problem with my smoker, being of a engineering background i plumbed my bradley with a Gas Chimney Flue and piped it through the wall (obeying all clearances rules) and put a stack up with wind directional chimney witch took a few days to engineer, ( only a drawing, no measurements) WOW, this works, little to no smoke in area where smoker is, but now cozy and dry in all weathers. Ran another batch of sticks ,everything going great. No downdraft problems, Pity i cant get pics to load to show U.
