    My first smoker build

    Thanks Alaska. I just removed my door tonight and plan on doing some straightening to the cc. The top where the hinges mount is sagging and the bottom door opening lip was bowed inward some. Hopefully when I get some bracing in there and reinstall the door it will be okay. I think my door is...

    Thats not the one I saw but that's a good one too. The one I saw was just a rod that pivoted and pushed it down as you turned it.

    My first smoker build

    It warped a little when I cut it. The door isn't off very far and I can push it down by hand to seal it. I tried putting a block under one edge and pushing the high corner down but this didn't do anything. If you look at my door you can see those fins on there and they keep it pretty sturdy. I...

    My first smoker build

    Thanks guys. The only issue I am having is my cc door isn't sitting perfectly flush in one of the bottom corners. Should I make a little latch system to pull the door down tight or will it matter that much? I was going to install a gasket around the door but I don't think I can put one across...

    Hey Dave. Will I need a air inlet in the upper portion of my firebox door or do I need to give her a test run to determine that? If I do need one, any idea on size? My firebox is approx. 25.5 X 23.75 X 22

    First RF smoker- 115 gal propane tank

    My first smoker build

    Good to know. Fortunately the only thing that really warped on me was the top lip that my door attaches to. I welded some flat stock down to tie my hinges to but I didn't lift the door and tack it on the inside so it got a little wavy on me under that flat stock.

    Thanks Dave. I welded in the 1" angle already to help reduce warping when I burned it. The RF plate will be 1" above the opening. Hopefully that's enough. Thanks for the words of wisdom.
