Is it just the picture or is the stack taller than your door opening?

Decided the Firebox needed a little something on the door so I drew this up and had it cut.

Finally got some time to work on the smoker. Got the legs cut out and profiled, started my charcoal box, welded on my handles and installed temp gauges and a little hood for them. Also added some images of some other things I built this week too
