thanks for all the input fellas. it will make the transition from pellet fed smokers to traditional wood smoking easier and less stressful for me. i'm pretty anal about my Q. here's a pic from today.

Looking good Jerry.....  The expanded metal shelf if a great idea... the brackets have a nice design....  several radiused corners.... this smoker looks like it will win best in show....

How the heck are you going to move that? I hope the future plans involve wheels and a trailer hitch!

agreed, there's no better place for a shelf than right in front.  Immensely useful when two hands are needed for moving food around over a short distance.

thanks fellas. steve, the trailer is being built for it also. hopefully it will get mounted to it next week. i like the expanded metal shelf myself. when i talked to jeremy (the guy building it for me) i just told him i wanted a shelf on the front and this is what he came up with. dave, can i put a 6" inside diameter stack on this or is that too much. when i was drawing this up i showed you the drawings but i had a 5" inside diameter stack drawn on it? what is the difference and what's the good and bad for it (if any)? it would mean more draft, right?

Yes.... no problem ....  The stack may have to be shortened.... [color= rgb(24, 24, 24)]  Not having all the dimensions handy for the entire smoker, it appears a 6" ID stack about 28" above the cook chamber would work....   [/color]
