Pull all the edges of the grease collector in about 2 inches from the side walls all the way around. The open space only needs to be about a half inch tall. Insulate all the walls/floor/ceiling. Put a digital controller/probe on the pellet drive. You should have a large enough fire to deliver the temps you want to cook at. But it is speculation because I don't know your dimensions. When I experimented with the largest version of Edna - the pellet drive and that cabinet maxed out at 310F and she was single wall 14 ga. at about 20,000 total cubic inches. Hope that helps ….
