And the firebox door is cut. I used a CNC router to create my templates for the plasma cutter. Sometimes my cutting looks perfect, other times it looks pretty messy. Nothing a bit of welding and some grinding can't fix. I made up some simple hinges using a metal lathe (could've bought some tube steel but this didn't take too long and used what was on hand). Aaron franklin has a pretty good video on hinges for his smoker build. Next up will be to finish the intake vent, weld the hinges on fully and add some steel to the inside of the firebox to block up the door gaps.
Once that's done, it's onto welding the firebox to cook chamber and installing it on the frame.
