You are missing the baffle plate above the fire box opening. Should angle downward a bit coming into the cook chamber. That will help maintain more even heat across the cook chamber and fix your ash problem. Nice looking smoker

The picture of your intakes (wide open)... Is that where it runs wen cooking ?? Does this ash problem only happen when you open the cook chamber door really fast (creating a suction from the FB) ??
