I will get 2 if possible, the one I made it was a lot easier to cut the door out of one and use the 2nd to make the same door just a little bigger to seal the edge. If you know what I mean. Otherwise u have to put a trim around the 1st one to seal the door.

ah yes, I see what you're saying.. Im still kind of designing the door access. I may try and cut it like Stumps cuts his doors, angled with a ledge to keep the goodness in.. :)

What he saying is that whatever you cut the door with, the size of the cutting device determines the material loss. So if you use a cutting wheel on say a 4 1/2" grinder, you lose about an 1/8" inch. Giving you a gap. I'm not familiar with the angle cut you speak of but maybe it yields less material loss.

thanks, yah I know what he means. The stumps smoker doors uses an angled overhang that is adjacent to a deflector on the inside of the door panel.Keeps the door from bulging or warping from heat, and creates a nice recession for using rope insulation.
