Here's mine an old gun safe. Wish I could say I made it but.... Nope I bought it from a fellow fisher / hunter

Any issues with your propane hose getting too hot down there?  New to this...curious.  I was planning on hard-piping mine in.  AND, is that stainless expanded metal or regular carbon steel?
Thanks!

The hose for fuel is disaster in the making. My dad had a hose feeder line. And yup it caught fire,burnt the house down with 120 pounds of sockeye  and the bottle was on fire at the valve. It really is a good idea safety wise to hard pipe to the outside and hose it from there to the propane bottle.

I like it...solidifies my thought on it.

It looks to me like the fittings are on the underside of the smoker and the hose is just being stored there when not in use, that hose isn't connected to anything that I can see.

Sorry so late. Yes the hose is just stored there. It is all outside / under the smoker. Have had zero issues with it getting hot or even warm for that matter. Actually the issue I had once was my flame getting blown out.... Go figure.
