On the outside: one cooler box, extremely well insulated.
2 outlet vents on top - pvc 1" OD or 25 MM OD
2 inlet vents on the bottom, both also pvc 1" or 25 MM OD ( you can see only one )
One BIG adjustable inlet vent ( turned by hand, all pvc on the shelf at DIY store )
Top view of the inside ( my first REAL smoke, next to my cigarettes that is....)
Basic thought to come to this design:
- ELIMINATE ALL VARIABLES THAT ARE HARD TO CONTROL ( wind - sun - outside temperature )
- USE THE VARIABLES THAT YOU CAN CONTROL ( inlet - outlet - heat development )
- IF YOU NEED ADJUST, DO IT WITH ADDING HEAT ( this is easier than cooling down )
Below you see 3 drawings of the inside with different controls
Until now I have done tests with outside temperatures between -14 C and - 3 C, and I was always able to adjust the controls to smoke between + 18 C and + 20 C ( without jumping up and down to adjust all the time )
The picture below shows the setting for outside temperature of - 5 C and inside + 18 C, eventually I could mark the tape at the white arrow with " - 5 ", and I could do that with different outside temperatures as well ( if I always keep the + 18 C inside to smoke )
I am sure that there are still some modifications to come, but I felt confident enough to show it now as it is.
