Some of the links on this forum allow SMF, at no cost to you, to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
Built one about 4 yrs ago myself. Most efficient smoker I ever had or built. Added a homemade temperature controller couple yrs ago and now it's pretty much a set it and forget it.
If you're thinking about building one had have and questions just ask I'll help if I can.
