your welcome! i like it becuase it uses the heat method i use on my modified vertical charcoal smoker. in the picture he has the bottom rack set lower than i would but yeah looks like an easy built. only problem i see is the foundation and securing when a storm blows in.  
 
I would consider adding a hinged door at the height of the cast iron pan, in order to remove it and empty the ashes, replenish it with fresh chips, and replace it over the burner.  By doing that, you wouldn't lose so much heat.  Just my humble opinion.
 
I'd read that using pine or other resinous (sp)? softwood would cause the meat/fish to taste nasty. If thats not an issue that would be pretty cool (and much cheaper. :)

i agree. but that adds a few dollars for hinges. i think it is a budget build. ether way i still like it. i am going to build one kind of like this.

happy smoken.

One critical thing missing is a series of some kind of drip pans between the meat grates and the propane burner.  Otherwise, the floor will get all crappy and same with the burner unit, which would eventually spark a fire and burn it up and risk explosion of the propane tank. A couple overlapping aluminum pans would suffice and still allow the smoke to rise and permeate the meat.
