Well, figured I'd post a few build pictures so far. It's coming along really nicely. Just a couple more steps then I'm going to burn out the CC the first time.

I've noticed my build falls into the short/fat category, as if I the calculators I need more area under the baffle plate then actually exists in the entire smoker, so I believe I've adjusted all of that well enough, and my area opening to the CC is about equal to the area under the baffle and...

In the end, opted for two doors. Less heat escaping and the majority of the times I use this will be for smaller things like shoulders and ribs. Each door will be 24" wide with a 3.5" space/support between them. I'll try to get pictures sometime.
