Hey everyone. I'm going to be making a wood enclosure/work station for my 22".
I am planning on making an enclosure for the whole cooker with just the lid sticking above the top of the work station.
My question is do I have to worry about the heat generated by the smoker catching the wood enclosure on fire? I personally don't think the outside of the smoker gets that hot, but this is a new project for me and I wanted to get some other opinions before I burn anything down.
I'm thinking about something like this with the following modifications: the WSM will be enclosed on all sides and located on the left of the unit. The enclosure will have hinged doors to allow for vent access. The bottom of the unit will be slotted to allow for air to enter from below the smoker. The right side of the unit will be left open below for storage. The bottom shelf as seen in the picture will be much lower to the ground to allow for the height of the 22" WSM.
Thanks for your thoughts.
