    Ricky, I would recommend a second door for smoking because a hole in your insulated door would potentially leave cold air in.

    also the insulated door may have a seal that does not allow enough smoke to escape.

    My smoking door has no insulation, a hole at the bottom for the smoke pistol tube to enter.

    The oven will retain enough heat for the smoke session

    Ok it has been a while but here I am.... What is your question regarding the doors? I have 3 doors. One is 4 inch insulated. One is for baking with minimal insulation

    a round window and one is not insulated with a hole for a pistol smoker entry.

    Hey Chip,

    I was thinking of Using a smoke generator with my oven...i was going to drill a hole in a door made for this application same as you. Did you drill another hole for the smoke to escape or crack the door open. just curious on how you used this. How did it work for you?

    I will give him a few days to see if he responds. But from what I remember he built a insulated door and had the smoke pistol in the middle of the door. Have you built your insulated door yet? If not just build 2 at the same time and incorporate the smoke injector in one of them.

    Thanks Randy. Well I hope mrchipster still stops by the forum every once and a while. I would love to hear how it worked andnhow he designed his door and see if we are on the same page.

    Not sure if he is still on here bu mrchipster built a door with a smoke pistol in it for just such a situation. I believe that he said it worked good.

    Has anybody used a smoke generator to smoke in the oven while using the retained heat. I was thinking about getting a smoke daddy and fabricating a door just for this smoke generator. I would drill the hole for the smoke daddy towards the bottom left of the "smoking door" and then another hole in the top right of the "smoke door" so the smoke has a place to exit to the flue. So in theory the smoke would enter the bottom left and hopefully circulate through and exit the top right hole. Anyone do something like this before or have any ideas.

    Just saw they clearanced them but they are Patriot Lighting ultra thin 120v 4" recessed lights 60w equivalent. Lithonia makes the same type in their brand but here is what I bought. https://www.menards.com/main/m-3491202.html I originally had 3 in the front but was way to bright so I did 2 in the front which is plenty bright and 1 in the back. I could have done probably 1 but you know us electricians we like it bright. I may put it on a dimmer but not sure how long it will last in the elements even though its in an in use cover. I use Z Wave to control my lights and holiday lights so the dimmer is $38 and I see condensation on the inside of the cover sometimes. I may give it a whirl and see how it goes.

    Thank You. I am having a rock face limestone arch made to border the oven opening and then use the same stone as the base to finish the enclosure.

    Well the soffit is finished 2 lights in the front and one in the rear to shine on the stone when finished. Just need to stone the chimney and the rest of the enclosure and I can say I'm done.
