    Yes I was thinking a double piece of mesh for a closure but worried about weather when I actually smoke.... Maybe a solid wall with a lift/ or swing door while in use?

    New Brick Smoker build starts tomorrow

    I though about a screen tacked on the steel flue. The back side will be solid wall of steel with some type of door. I like the mesh idea too but looking to keep weather out if I'm smoking. Keep it coming wes!
