What are you going to cap the fire box with? And did you leave access to fire box to
add wood / remove ash ? Also need to think about air flow so that burner will burn properly?

That looks awesome, is your plan to have a burner with a hot plate to keep the smoke going?

Looking good bro. Maybe we need a "show off your smoker" thread. Great way to learn ideas from each other.

Can you take a picture from the door looking straight back towards the fire box?
