next i cut another section of tube open and flattened it out. cut a circle out cruedly with a grinder and ground it round and sanded smooth. used this as a door for an extra air inlet that i can open or close if need for extra airflow.

lined the sides of the milk crate with some expanded steel so the coals dont fall out the larger holes on the side.

i added a cheap thermometer installed at the cooking grate height for right now. later i will upgrade to a nice digital with a meat probe sensor as well. for right now i wanted to do this on the cheap. i think i got about 40$ into this, not to bad.
