    Got my first Smoker and looking to make mods

    Got the fire box installed yesterday.  Now I am wondering if the damper hole on the side of the grill will be a big enough whole to allow smoke into the cooking area.  Any thoughts on this?  Was thinnking I could either leave it or hack a bigger hole in the side.
