2. magnets for control
3. 8-1/2" holes in the lid for exhaust (unless I can find a dome lid)
4. cheap 12" thermometer from wal-mart

I haven't settled on a charcoal grate yet but it will have to be a no-weld design because I'm a no-weld guy... I'm also gonna have to find me a drum still, I thought I had a line on one but the guy didn't have any more...

Other than this you're on the right track. You are going to need 4 at least at 3/4" I would suggest 4 1" or 3 1 1/4". You might not think so now, but you're gonna want to cook a chicken in there sooner or later.
