stack question for cinder block rig
I am building out a 4 pan unit. Question: can I get by with a 6 inch stack or should I go with 8 inch? I have a 3 pan rig using a 5 inch stack that seemed to do the trick but my rig is leaky as heck. This one is going to be tight, or at least that is the plan.
thanks
Love your handle! 6 inch stack should be fine!
Regards,
Chris

Currently I run a crude cinderblock 4 pan setup (steam pans). Run 6 inch no problems at all. When fired hard it glows and shows some flames out the stack. Pulls s good draft.

Up until this year I've used two pans on a block arch with five inch stack eight feet tall. Draws fantastic and sounds like a jet when I'm firing it hard.

Thanks. Went with 6”. Looking forward to firing this thing up. .
The name comes from what I tell my kids every time we have pancakes. “Enjoy them because those are $1000 pancakes”
