I moved this to another thread as I've completed the untested mods and have a planned smoke tomorrow (Saturday).
Previous Discussion on my Cooker/Warmer:

Here's are the mods:
#1, #2 and #3: Drilled an 1-3/4" hole thru the smoker (where the dent was). I used two (2) 1-1/4" 90* ells and a shoulder nipple thru...sealed it on the exterior with high-temp silicon.
#4 and #5: Added a threaded exhaust (will be trimmed some with a neat idea for a baffle...I'll post tomorrow when complete). Drilled one (1) 1-1/2" hole in the bottom (well, actually 2...first one was too close to some structural SS member running around perimeter of base between sheets of SS. It will be plugged tomorrow with a chrome plug and high-temp silicon).
#6, #7 and #8: I bought exhaust clamps to place my AMNTS on...I also bought SS screws and clips to hold it in place, but for now I like the flexibility of moving, so they'll remain free for awhile? And finally I used a whole sheet pan (aluminum) too block drippings?
I ran the temp up too 100*F just to see how much air flow was coming from the chimney...I was surprised I couldn't really feel any, some heat, but not too much air?!
I needed an extension cord to get it out side from my garage, so I bought 25' of 10/3 SOOW cord and needed a few ring connectors to complete the conversion...tomorrow morning, pre-smoke I'll run too Ace Hardware.
