2-100 pound tanks?!?! That's a LOTTA heat, for a LONG time!
This has been a great build thus far!

Thanks for the information, I'm really not sure what to expect yet. I will be installing a 3" air vent in the door for fresh air. The AMNPS should benefit from sitting in front of the vent (I think).
Im also worried what the safe operating temperature of the smoker will be. I've used the search bar and have read several threads on the subject but everyone seems to have a different answer. I have read anywhere from 190 degrees to 250 degrees. I just don't want this box to turn into the largest Roman candle that anyone has ever seen.

I don't think that's going to be enough vent for the AMPS. I have a floor vent for mine and it is not enough. I had to build a fan for it.

Put a tray of pellets in for the first time today just to see how she would act.
This picture was taken after a couple hours with both the top and bottom vents fully opened.
I then shut both vents down completely, the only draft would have been from the roof opening. After 3 1/2 hours with the vents completely closed the tray looked like this. Hopefully she will be this consistant with the propane.

Thanks, I can't wait!!
The support bracket is the ugly duckling of the entire build. Not sure if I will leave it or come up with something else.
I have a friend coming over Saturday and we will run all the black pipe for the propane. Should be able to put some heat in there after that.
There is a pile of old oak 4x4's behind my shed. It might be time to start ripping them for smokehouse racks.
Thanks to everyone for all the great ideas on this forum !!

Yes, I'm the kind of guy that hangs a no smoking sign on a custom built smoker
Getting down to the finish line, it's time to bring in the heat!
We hard piped the smoker and added a side burner on the prep table.
