The quarantine time has given me time to keep working on the smoker! Here is the fire box. 18x18 with 3/16" steel. I was originally going to use a 15 gallon air tank, but matting two tanks with domed ends is a pain (i started at it), the 15 gallon was a little smaller than ideal, and then putting the dampers on the other end of a domed tank was going to be a real PITA as well, so decided I would just make the box .
I will be putting a slide damper on the lower right side (90* from the door side, which will put it in line with the opening into the CC), then I am going to put a pinwheel damper in the top center of the same side. Also, I am debating on tacking in some 1" C channel in an X pattern on the back side of the door to prevent warping. Can anyone tell me if this is necessary or is it over kill?
