I saw the posts about mailbox mods. Most were for the masterbuilt smoker as it has a 3" hole for the elbow to attach to. The smoke hollow has a 2x 7 hole whetw the smoke box slides into. Here's my fix for a cold smoker mod for these smoker's. First off I used a bread loaf pan to attach to the smoker. Cut the hole and made it 3/8 inch smaller on the 2 " side then cut on each end to the 2" line and bent this slightly past 90 degrees for an easy way to put it on. Then used sheet metla and made a lid with a half inch bend on top again for easy install. Then I cut the 3" hole and attached the elbow. Then cut a hole in the back of the mailbox for the other elbow. Then I drilled 3 3/4" holes in the door and made a draft adjuster for that. I also bought some 1/8" thick weather strip for seals. I used document clips to hold everything together so as to revert back to the factory design without changing the smoker itself.
