Smoker build idea

I am thinking about ideas for building a smoker. There is all kinds of ways to make one. One idea I had is to build a smoker out of an old gun safe. Has anyone ever done this?

Be careful. The fire protection material and glues/paints can be a real problem.

Personally, instead of an old gun safe, I'd buy some sheet steel for a basic 'box' to start with.

Old propane tanks and large oil field pipe 'pieces' are a much better place to start IMHO.

Residing the The Great White North you might consider building an insulated gravity feed. Maintains temps better in the winter and you won't have to go outside much to check on it.
