What do you call the "elbow" of the exhaust pipe that leads into the cooking chamber? Exhaust manifold? Is there a better term?
It looks like more than an "elbow". You take the steel out in a rectangular shape which then collects the smoke and draws it up the exhaust stack. Do you call it a "smoke collector triangulation"?
What-you-ma-call-it?
And what do you pitmasters think? Necessary? Nice to have?

The other genres collecting effluent to spew out and maintain peak center-line operating temperatures are rather mature in their respective development life-cycles, as is their nomenclature. It's a recent development in smoking to think about the smoking chamber volume of a particular cooker in relation to the fuel source, the fuel basket size, the amount of heated gases and particulate that must be efficiently expelled for a given temperature, the structure of the convergent / divergent collector, and the volume of the proper chimney as driven by gaseous pressure, therefore needing a precise diameter and length, and the ability to fine tune the characteristics and variables in play due to such factors as weather and humidity.
This is not a watch-you-ma-call-it. This is science. It's the size of the outlet in the body of the cooker that drives the structure of the thing-a-ma-jiggy that uses a joey to connect it to the chimney base via a doo-hickey.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

I've changed my mind, I think it's called a polytetrahedron. I say that because a connected set of regular tetrahedra is the 3-dimensional analogue of a polyiamond. Polytetrahedra and polyiamonds are related as polycubes are to polyominoes. The only real issue that bothers me is what kind Mr. Franklin prefers because there exists two topologically distinct polytetrahedra, each made up of four intersecting triangles.
(I have no earthly idea what I just said, I think a being took over my brain. Can someone please translate?)
