That's what so great about this forum....you get a ton of concepts and ideas to help you during your build.I really dig this build. I may or may not steal some concepts ;). The door prop and drain style caught my eye.
The upper air inlets are designed to move heat from the FB to the CC...
Try opening up the upper air inlets and see what that does for the heat on the top of the FB.... Should also reduce your wood consumption....
You can always pre heat the wood on top of the FB also.....
Looks great. Where are you being deployed to?Been busy with work past few months. Loaded it up before deploying earlier this year. Also just got done putting a third rack in for more cooking surface. Next is insulating the FB and then she will be ready for wiring and paint. Love this smoker so much.View attachment 509112View attachment 509113
