No sir, I could adapt an auger and controller to feed and regulate temps BUT, This design is very efficient at using about 2/3 bushel of LUMP charcoal which is different than briquettes. I use oak wood chunks mixed with apple, pecan, mesquite, and lump charcoal. It fills at the top and as it burns below, the gravity feeds more of the mix to the fire section. The beauty of this is that the feed box is about 3 feet tall but shaped like the letter A...wider at the bottom to prevent jammed wood dropping into the fire.the door on the bottom right is the clean out and the 2†circle on the front, gets a 2†ball valve to control air intake to the fire.. smoke travel horizontally from right to left and exits the top 4†chimney.
Started this project at least 4 yrs ago and moved the frame around the yard from place to place, but given the last 10 weeks of being home...I got a lot of stuff done and a lot of stuff started...started is the hard one... takes years to get them done 😆
