pitmath

pre-alpha

Heat-and-draft models for offset and reverse-flow smokers, derived from physics rather than volume ratios. Most of this site doesn't exist yet — reference-pit measurements have to come in and get fitted before any calculator beyond this one can ship without guessing. See docs/decisions.md D5.

Altitude correction
Tier A
The one calculator that ships without waiting on reference-pit calibration (docs/formula-spec.md §3.5). Stack gas velocity is altitude-invariant — required area is not.
Ambient pressure
11.21 psia
vs. sea level
76%
Required stack area
×1.31
Required diameter
×1.14
