Thanks essexsmoker. It all seems to work really well. If you want the drawings let me know....
The stainless doesn't seem to move noticeably when it's hot either which was a worry, the doors still open fine.
I am going to add some Vermiculite insulation boards to the inside at a the top and around ...

I'm going to use this as a build blog for my cabinet smoker. I am completely new to the smoking game so any help, advice, tips and critique is greatly received.

I am a design engineer so naturally I am never 100% happy with anything I buy and usually spend my time ripping things apart and modifying ...

Hello all, I am a designer and mechanical engineer based in North Yorkshire. I am not new to outdoor cooking but it is specifically hot smoking which brought me both here and onto the US forums for knowledge and inspiration.

After a few days of good weather an bbq'ing earlier in the year I started ...
