That's a sweet looking double pan. Looks the goods with all the bling attached.
Now for the Q-View..

Definitely a sweet unit, really happy with how it came out. Just getting used to running it, getting it dialed in. Breaking it in as i write this. Just had to go back and order a longer stem door thermometer.

I always used to leave the side door wide open & sometimes use the air blower on my compressor to get it going(not full blast of course) & it's would take about 2hrs. Then I got my CyberQ & it takes about 30-45mins now, that thing is amazing!
How long of a stem on the Thermometer did you end up purchasing? I am currently doing the same build and that is one of the questions I asked on this site. Do you also use high temp caulk on the inside to seal the stem?
