Sometimes it works out ...  An upper air inlet to the firebox, adding fresh cool air can be a good thing.....

Got to say ... its nice seeing a CNC waterjet project that is precise and done well....as for the build!

As for the performance you will have to tune that to your liking.

I did the same thing with my OKJ Bandero smoker that I bought.. Measured the parts, made all of the soildworks Cads to update to my liking and then had them WJ cut to modify the smoker to be a 1/4" walls all over! Designed several other cool ideas! Now I am pretty much satisfied at this point.

The next step is to design to my own smoker to my cook style.

When you transport, do you have some sort of uplock for the hydraulic cylinder?  I'd hate to see a leaking seal or hydraulic hose result in you losing that beautiful piece of work!

Yes there is a "safety" pin that lock in the up position. Works well!!
