You asking me? If so I think they are dual 6 or 8 inch. There is a butterfly flue built into the stacks. It is designed and built to run wide open, fire box and stacks.

Re: Building my 500 gallon propane tank smoker
So here she is! It's been a long time coming, but I finally got to season her up on Sunday. The first xook is gonna be this Friday for one of my son's Birthday. I want to give a big thanks to everyone for all the advice and experience they shared, especially K.A.M., I haven't forgot about you brother! She flowed pretty even except the top middle seemed to a hot spot. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. There are no tuning plates right now.

Great looking unit. As far as the top section running hotter, it's going to. Not called the "Cowboy Microwave" for nothing.

Re: Building my 500 gallon propane tank smoker
Very nice finish to an awesome build brother.
Try different coal bases and intake settings to regulate the draft. Slowing the draft (Less intake) with a lower exhaust will heat up middle to closer to the firebox while speeding up the draw (More intake) will heat up the exhaust side. You need to find a balance with intake and coal base.
