Thanks. That's what I needed to know. The metal is painted. I think it would have taken the heat although it may have warped some. The water pan and metal would be supported by heavy steel t-posts for fencing. I think 3-4 of them would hold about anything I put on them. I'll keep looking for a baffle then.
 
If your T-posts area painted you will want to grind, burn, or sand blast the paint off prior to installing them. Paint in your smoker is a no-no!
 
Nice. Man that looks great  Now we need to see it loaded up with meat and smoke coming out the stack  Good Job

I'm with Gary,  love the grill area!   Your hard work is about to pay off!   Don't forget to let it cure good before you start even a small fire.   I love your set up.   Don't mess it up by getting in a hurry to use it.

I may have the baffle figured out. Dad gave me a wood stove tonight. I have no fireplace in my house. It's a cast iron stove. I took a couple pieces home to see how it fit. These are the plates that seal the stove to the mantle, I guess you would say. The cast iron should soak up the heat and help hold it steady. I used two of four. If I can find a way to cut cast, I might in bolt the front of the stove and trim a couple inches off the top so I can just seal it to the front of the smoker just under the lintel. If that would work I could have a cast iron front door. If that doesn't work then the side could may be be rotated 90 degrees and have a fold down door with the brass screw in damper in the door. The side plate is slightly larger than the opening in the front of the smoker with a 10x16"?? door may be. I'll play around with it when I get a chance to go get the stove.

That's some fantastic work. Can't wait to see the final product and the food that comes out of it. I need to go find me some bricks lol

y dad's neighbor just pulled out a brick walkway and stacked the brick beside the driveway like it's to be hauled off. I'm trying to see if I can aquire it. It's the brick size pavers with no holes, but I bet it would still make something cool.

Step away from Wes....... he'll be taking you into a wood fired oven! ROFLMAO
 
I dont need a pizza oven, but a fire place to the front of the rock closer to the picnic table could be nice. It would be neat with a closable side exhaust vent to run a removable pipe for cold smoking by closing the chimney and opening the vent, and running the pipe into the firebox on the smoker. That might get too crowded in my area though.

That would be a good one for you Wes. Drill a 3'' hole in the side of your fireplace and fire box. Add a threaded or slip fitting w\caps that would take the high heat when run as a smoker and fireplace. Install a pipe and close off the fireplace chimney when you need to cold smoke by burning a small handfull of coals.

LOL Kevin!!   If the pizza and bread is half as good as I've read and heard,   I may just quit work and cook my life away!!      I will learn how to make bread in this thing.   Flour is cheap and I got nothin but time!   :-)

You could also do the same with your smoker.   I know it doesn't look the best, but I've turned out some damn good bacon.   

This is a  sidebox from a chargriller.    A wood door with all the fittings.   You have to use aluminum.   Just a thought and cheaper too.  I can keep temps below 90F with a nice TBS.
