    Thank you, I'm definitely not a carpenter but I am pleased with it.

    Did a batch of venison summer sausage, and snack sticks today.

    Thanks, It's just a handle, it has 3 cam lock latches that pull the doors in tighter the more you turn the latches.

    Thank you, for the smoke I have a grate that sits just above the burner for a chip pan and water pan to sit on. I also have a secondary firebox that is ducted into the side of the lower portion for cold smoking. Still working.

    Thank you, I hope so too. The fire box is layered with sheet metal and tile, should be enough to keep it from going up in smoke...I hope. The tiles in the bottom were cool to the touch while the temperature in the top section hovered around 250.

    Well I got her all finished up, ended up going with propane instead of electric. Lowest temp was 145, and highest was 325. I'll be seasoning it and experimenting with the heat and smoke tomorrow.

    It looks as though I can add a universal heat element control circuit to the MES 40 element, that I could mount to the outside wall. Hopefully someone who has done this before will chime in and let me know if I'm wrong.

    Awesome, thanks for your input, looks like I'll be buying a MES 49 element.

    I'm not opposed to trying electric, being that this will be sitting on my deck, electric may be a safer bet. Out of a 1200 watt element, how high of temperatures are you able to reach? Thank you for your response.
