Thanks! I used a cutting wheel to cut out the doors, put some sheet metal behind to make a lip for the door to rest on, and used some high temp gasket maker to make a tight seal. I need to work on the lid some more, some smoke leaks there. I also need to make a charcoal basket... I'm using a bowl from my old WSM style smoker right now. I'll tweak the temp control when I get the basket made.

The top door is so I can access food on the lower cooking rack without taking out the top one. I added the lower door for ease of cleanup and so I can add wood/charcoal if needed.

I like it. Lots more detail work, but worth it, I'm sure. Any chance you got some bigger pics so we can see the detail work?
Nice drum!

I know it's not the norm to put a door in but you went way outta the norm and did duals. That is so friggin cool. Anyone that doesn't likethe look of that needs there head worked on. I was thinking of doing the one door deal just cause I have the parts and extra material but now I have a new project to work on. I think mine will use woodstove gaskets though. I have two tubes of the red silicone but I think I'll still use the gasket. Thanks

I would have preferred a stove gasket, but used silicon to keep cost down. Plus, the red matched my dolly!

Wow. Pretty cool. I think most people shy away from doors because of the air leaks you can get. But, if you can make em work, then more power to you. Sure does make access easier. Thanks for the pics. I likey.
