Hello, I'm new to the site, but I've been creeping smoker builds for some time. I've decided to build an outdoor kitchen island, and I want to include a built-in smoker. I currently have a WSM 22.5, and think it's time for a little more rack space. I have a few questions concerning the smoker part of my build. I came up with this approximate drawing with free model software. I planned on using metal studs and cement board with a stone veneer, because I am more familiar with them than a pure block build. I was going to use block for the smoker portion, as I know enough about masonry to build a square shaft out of block. Would I need to line the block with "fire brick", and if so, who sells these in bulk? Also, I notice everyone has what appears to be custom doors. I was thinking about using insulated stainless steel doors that are already made. Would they be okay to use, or would I need heavy steel doors made? I appreciate any responses. Thanks
