Can't go wrong with free.....make the mods your talking about and let us know how the first cook went!!
 
I would advise against a damper on the exhaust, NEVER a reason to dampen that unless you want creosote tating food!!

I would suggest a charcoal basket for controlled longer burn's and don't forget to season it first!

Can't wait to see it together and working!
 
was thinking more to keep moisture in while cooking and it out when not on the stack not so much to control heat and bring down lower than meat racks what do you think
 
Extend the pipe down to the grate with that metal flex dryer vent stuff... and leave the stack all the way open... theres a thread of mods you'll wanna look at for it... thats one of a few... when i put mine together Gramason had his for a while and gave me a hand... like stove caulk between the firebox and smoker... i flipped the large curved charcoal pan/grate upside down in the smoke chamber the arch matches the opening in the firebox-it evened the heat out pretty good... put some angle in the firebox and expanded metal over the removable belly plate in the firebox.... the few little things i put off doing... i did later and was glad i did.... search for that thread... they are good mods! if you need more info let me or Gramason know...
