I'm in for the long haul on this one.  This one has me intrigued.  I can't wait it see it working.
 
Initial test fire was unsuccessful. Temp would only get to 180 on its own .. No fan... After reading some post and re-calculations, I made some modifications to air in-let and to the internal workings in fb
 
2nd test fire today was much better. 300 degrees with all four caps off.. With caps on temp holds... So far so good
 
Caps on...ball valve halved cocked brings temp down slowly.. Might just work... About 6 lbs of match-light burned for almost 5 hrs.. Is that a good rate of consumption??

i wouldnt have used match light for my test burn because it is coated in lighter fluid which could transfer into the smoke chamber.. which could make food smoked in it taste like fluid. i like the build
 
I never thought of that.. Ill give it a good scrubbing before my next test just in case. Thanks for the heads-up
