Just remember, to avoid much potential heartache, to weld on door hinges, before you fully cut door flaps loose.
But you already know that if you did your study.

Was able to get some work in on the RF plates today as I was smoking my first fatty. Put key stock on the side of tank to help hold the plates up.
Here is a picture of some of the plates tack welded in.
Got the chimney in tonight.
Just had to fire her up.
My cooking thermostat read high after 480 and she was claiming. Plus I have not sealed my door yet.

How much space did you leave between the end of the RF plate and the end of the smoker, from the pic above it looks really close? My 200 gallon build calcs call for a 170 square inch opening at the end of the RF plate (27in wide by 6.3 in long) , I would have thought you needed a bigger opening than the one I am putting in mine...

Ok, thanks! I wasn't seeing the curve at the end. You've got a real nice setup going there.

Also build a covered rack to store some of my smoking wood. It is 3ft high X 7ft long X 20in deep. Full of seaoned cherry.

Got the inside and racks coated in Lard.
Store down the road had spare-ribs on sale for $2.19lb. So I got 6 for my first cook on my new smoker.
The smoker worked as plan. Good smoke and good temperature. Once hot had less then 5 degrees from side to side ,but when heating up could be as much as 20 degrees.
Here the ribs I cooked today for the first cook on the smoker. I will do a full form on today's cook later tonight after church under pork. Now to tack a brake from the trailer build and work on the honey-do-list. If not I may not be around to finish the trailer build, Lol.
