I think the "she ain't purdy but she can cook" saying fits this girl, I've been tinkering with this build for quite some time and had I visited this site sooner I would have saved myself some grief. She started out as a charcoal/wood chunk build that's temp was controlled by dampers shown but with such a small fire box I was constantly chasing temps and could hardly walk away from it, I eventually gave up and installed a turkey fryer burner and a separate smoke chamber which has made life much better, the only items purchased for this build was paint and the a maze n pellet tray all other materials I picked up here and there.
