    Backwoods makes a whole hog cooker with a firebox on the bottom. It's pretty close to what your looking to build. Check them out. What your looking to build shouldn't be to hard.

    Air Problem

    It's not easy to retire and old cooker, but when you get a new one it makes it a whole lot better. You'll like that Pitmaker Vault. Its been raining down here just about all week. I'm waiting on it to stop so I can paint my trailer smoker. Send me a pic of your new cooker when you get it.

    Air Problem

    I've been thinking about your fridge for a while. I think your temp spikes come from the way you light your coals.
