Your suggestions are well taken! It appears you have constructed a double-walled unit throughout. I was planning on building the frame, and wrapping only the outside with the rolled steel. Since I cook in AZ, and all of my experience is on a smaller, thinner walled smoker, I never had issues...
Thank you!
I appreciate the information! Can you elaborate on the X on all doors? Did you build each door as a frame and cover both sides? I was planning on using a 3/16" thick steel for the doors, and thinking of adding reinforcement behind them.
