Another shortfat, with CAD

[c0g]

Waiting for the plasma cutter to be back online, but I think I've hit a decent stopping point on the design. I hope I can get onto actually building it next week :D So far I've spent a good amount time at my computer and burning paint off the cylinder.

The design follows [@woodyg's](https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/short-fat-120-gallon-build.238321/) almost exactly. I got a good deal on 1/4 plate, so that's what we're doing. I don't think I have enough metal for a double layer firebox + insulation, but I live in California so it's probably maybe fine.

Firebox is 24.5 x 20 x 20, the slot into the cylinder is 6.5".

My plan is to attach weights using chain to the counter weights - it'll match my home made Santa Maria, and chains look metal. I've attached some pics of the design and the design is online here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/7...renderMode=0&uiState=65fb6eeae6aae54c793bd178

No dampers on the firebox but one on the smoke chamber?...not sure you need one on the smoker, but definitely need a couple on the firebox. JMO

I don't think I have one on the smoke chamber, but yeah - I forgot them on the firebox, good catch.

Then I mistook whatever those crosshairs were on the end of the cooking chamber.

Gotcha, that's just from onshape. It does look exactly like a damper though!

Whatchya think about a flume/collector box on the tank coming out to exhaust on top of it ?
