Been hunting and filming lately and was wondering if anyone has ever installed a muzzle brake or had there in-line ported? Not worried about recoil but more of smoke redirection.
Thanks, Gary

They don't call them smoke poles for nothing!

You might try Pyrodex??
I'm a traditional front stuffer and always used FFg or FFFg black powder in my 45 and 50.
I've never tried Pyrodex so don't know if it smokes less or not.

I am tempted to switch mostly due to cleanup.
My wife doesn't care much about me jumping in shower with the barrel to clean it out after each session!

Interesting thought. If you use loose powder, you would have to adapt something to get past the ports so not to lose powder when loading it. If you use sabots, I would wonder if there could be a problem with the ports damaging the sabot while loading or while it exits the barrel. For example a shotgun for duck hunting with a ported wad stripping choke that separates the wad from the pellets as it exits the barrrel. I think a ported barrel for a muzzleloader would have to have been engineered and tested for that type of rifle and load be it size of holes, angle of ports, etc. to work right. Or maybe a clamp on barrel brake to push the smoke to the sides. Then if it does not work, it can be removed and not leave you with a messed up barrel. Personally I think a ported barrel or brake both would make overall visibility worse. Another option since you can shoot smokeless in Texas is to pick up a smokeless muzzleloader.

Smokeless muzzleloader ?? Excuse me but I just had a big chill running up my spine !!

Pyrodexx RS smokes like a tires on fire.

Yup they make them. Savage made one for several years.
