The racks are 28 1/2 x 32 on the bottom and 20 1/2 x 32 on the top. I'm going with a 6 3/4" x 36 " stack and I'll be using tuning plates eventually too. First I need to burn it in and get rid of the propane smell. I plan on having it all sand blasted too once everything is done. I've got an expanded mesh box being made for wood storage on the back side of the pit. Also I need to add counter weights to the doors. Can't find any solid info on those so it will be trial and error for that.

Found this one on the net, doesn't look to bad. I think it might be solid bar. But one could use pipe and fill with lead shot. CF:)

Why does that pic automatically make me hungry?
I think it is beautiful Rick. Gonna look great when you get it painted.

Rick, here is a photo of what I did in place of turning plates. In the photo the cooking grates have been removed. My pit is smaller than yours, so it works for me. Just an idea. CF:)

Interesting CF. I'd love to see more pics of your smoker
