Congrats, Scott! Didn't you have an old #3 (or maybe 2) with the single latch? What you have there is the setup! Nice... Btw, mine all sit no more than 6-8" away from vinyl siding, with no problems at all!
I see Steve has the new NSF-certification door sticker! That's a huge deal in the commercial cooking industry, and I'm pretty sure CS and ST have not pursued it yet, making SI the only electric smoker that is NSF certified!
