That will make a nice smoker
For my home build for the pid i used fireboard which is wifi then you would be able to control your smoker from your cellphone from anywhere you have cell service. the door gasket i got from Amazon 1 inch stove rope gasket . heating element i made mine 220 VAC electric dryer element 5400 watt. The fireboard is meant to control a 12 volt fan but wired it up to a solid state relay which turns the heating element on and off accordingly to the temperature you set.

Thanks, I was hoping to stay with 110 v, but I’m learning it may require 220 v for the large chamber I have. I appreciate the assistance.Dave R
Been there with the 110 VAC with mine the most you can get out of it is about 1100 watt of heat and for a large smoker it was ok for snack sticks only need 175 degrees max but if you want to do pork butt or brisket you’ll need around 240 degrees. That’s why I switched to 220 volt. -
