Hello everyone!!

On the past I have built 3 offset smokers, but everytime I saw a WSM I feel inside me that I needed one of those, so last month I had a couple of off days from work, so I decided to make my own. Basically to be able to smoke with charcoal and some lumps of wood. I started with a couple of 300 liter tanks I had around the shop. I attach pictures of the first steps and up to the doors, hinges and heat deflector. I will work next week or in a couple in the door latches and then Im still thinking about how to achieve the air flow vents to control temp. So if anyone has any advice or ideas I will greatly appreciate any help.

Also, do you guys think a chimney is needed? I thought about maybe going as the WSM, but not sure. I´ll post more pics when I get to work on it.

Also! Big thanks to everyone in this forum, I probably wouldn´t have built any of them without the posts I found here.
