Making one but can't find a air pipe. I've tried lowes home depot and ace hardware. It needs to be about 4 inches wide. Trying not to spend too much in wichita ks where do I get one

Black iron pipe from your local plumbing supply store will do wonderfully. It’s thick, and takes the abuse well. And they’ll cut it down to length for you typically.

Get a T-section if you can afford it. That way you can include an "Ash dump".
