Warming Chamber Damper

Hello Everyone,

I'm coming to the end of my Frankenstein smoker build and I'm wondering if it is necessary to put a damper between the cooking chamber and the warming box? I don't plan on cooking in it.

Thank you,

Ken

I will post some when I get back to Springfield Saturday but be forewarned my design is a copy of a particular smoker builder but in no way the quality. This is just for me so I hope no one bashes me. The reason I call it Frankenstein is I'm probably the worst welder out there. I am not trying to steal anyone's design. I just like to build things for myself.
