Here are pics of the building from Friday that I have not posted yet. Too excited about cooking and forgot this was the build section.
Door handle and thermos done.
FB door and hinges done. This handle is temporary.
All this needs some cleaning up, but it works.
That design will work fine. There has been at least one build documented here. Do a search in this section for threads started be Dragons Breath. A lot of pics and the same design you are planning.
The size sounds right. FB is 1/3 of CC volume. Look through as many builds as you have time too...
Got a fire started at 6 and got Bacon ready. That's what my mom named this one while she was feeding it.
It wound up being bigger than I was told. It weighed 50 lbs yesterday morning.
I got the smoker seasoned yesterday and ready to go.
Smoker leveled out at 225 and pig on at 7.

Fired up Friday evening just to see some smoke. I ran it about 8 hrs yesterday. Smoking a pig today. I will try to post pics in my build thread of today's progress.

I got it mostly boxed in. I like the way it turned out.
Cut it out like this.
Filled in the sides and bottom. I am happy with the way it turned out.
I still plan to have it ready to cook and building a fire in it tomorrow afternoon. I sure hope that happens.
