AZBBQGRILLS:
For drain / I have a great idea. if I the bottom section has a 6 inch square cut out in the center. Then crease it slightly. create a door that is v shaped and slide along rails. There would be a handle in the lower front pull it the door slides forward creating a big opening. How does that sound.

Mike (AZBarbeque):
Yea, that's exactly what I am talking about, that would work perfect...

AZBBQGRILLS:
So with that piece done should the firebox be set up with the same trap system or should I go with an ash pan.

Mike (AZBarbeque):
I like the same trap system, then I just set a pan below it on the ground.  Makes it easy to clean up and keeps the ash from smothering out the fire..

AZBBQGRILLS:
Hope all had a excellent christmas.

The biggest item i am taking from this is the cleaning. What about the firebox. Questions I have are size, damper heat shield. I have read that a firebox the length of the smoker makes for even heat. the base of the firebox and smoker will be same height. Hence running tuning plates or a heat shield may not work. What are your thoughts also on the motor. Dayton seems to offer the best motor. Below are the two I narrowed it down to.
