One of the coolest I've seen! I bet that SOB is heavy you'll need a forklift to move it!
SmokerKing - Well done!!
Possibly change your handle to UDSSMokerKing - because, as stated earlier by PMAD, you are an artist.
I really like your diffuser, and I've seen it multiple times before. I wouldn't mind ordering one, but can't seem to get the website? Could you help me out with that? Have you tried the pizza pan method with holes drilled in it? I like how yours would gradually let the heat escape.
Thanks!

It does need modification. The cone top sits directly on top of the rim of the drum.
At the bottom of the cone, you need to spot weld a 1/4" rod around the perimeter. Once that's welded, a 1" x 1/8" flat bar needs spot welded to the rod to capture the lip of the drum.
That is a great looking smoker. One question, why do you have the ball valves and the door with the vents? It seems redundant.
Do you think the boiler door could have worked as the vents? I was wondering if there would be enough control with the holes being so large.
