Yes i did quite a bit of planning.
Just finished the door to the Firebox.
Right now i am trying to figure out what to use for counter weights.I am going to build a box on the back side of the cook chamber as another smaller smoker or a warmer so i want to minimize anything swinging back there.I am toying with coil springs.
 
Those are magnetic trailer lights i use to move it around.i will be extending the side rails to install the new lights later on so at that they are behind the firebox.
 
you can get good ideas for counter weight design from looking at Gator Pit smokers and Pitts by Klose they both have nice ones. I am not saying to copy it but they are helpful to look at
 


Almost finished with warmer box however i do not know how to heat this side?

Can i tap into firebox and have the fire heat both sides or is that going to take too much heat away from the main cook chamber? 

I was thinking of ducting the warmer from the back side of fb but how would the air flow with 2 stacks fighting to pull the air through?

Any thoughts?


 
Hard to say how that's gonna work out . I did mine above my firebox and just put a little slide vent for more heat and I get a little smoke. You may be able to put 2 or 3 small vents from your cook chamber but you will get smoke. I hope you work it out.
 
Thanks
Just weighed the trailer because i was getting worrried about how much i had on my 3500lbs axle and it as it sits now it weighs 2780LBS.I still have about 300-500lbs worth of shelves and doors to put on so i guess i better start looking for a bigger trailer or another axle?
