In which case, unless you have a nozzle in there, it's not a venturi, it's just a long pipe.

Picky Picky..
By extending the stack down to grate level, the heat does not just travel along the top of the smoker (above your food) and escape out the stack.
By extending the stack higher, the air/heat travels a bit faster thereby drawing more air into the firebox and helping get a better burn. I had to tweek it a bit to find the balance of too fast vs. too slow.
Here are some other interesting mod's for this style pit.

Nice thing for me is, now that I use my Lang most of the time I don't have issues with draw or heat retention.
