And that will tell you the opacity of what?

If I had wanted to convey to you that introducing a flow of air
into the tube would tell me the opacity, I would have said so.
Perhaps you are a bit challenged, but "to keep the smoke out"
seems pretty clear to normal people.

Let me lay it out for you so that you can posssibly understand
these deep technical issues:

When I put my light source and photodetector inside the smoker,
they became coated with residue, making them stop working.

When I put them at the end of tubes threaded into the smoker,
(and thus keeping them out of the stream of smoke) they stay
clean enough to finish the meat, but need cleaning before using
the smoker again.

Clearly, a little smoke is making it up the tube. I already have
a fan feeding the fire, so I figure that diverting a small but
steady flow of air down the tube will keep that little bit of
smoke out.

See? It's not a difficult concept.

Your posts?

That's your problem, right there. When a person wants to talk about
barbecue, that's not good enough for you. You need to throw in your
childish name calling.
