I have to honest, I had a hard time deciding how to title this topic, I guess I could have titled it, "I slow cook animal chunks with lots of smoke". 
Kiawe is the same as misquite, it's just what it is called here in Hawaii.
Just went to the store and got some more animal chunks, now I just need to find some tree logs.

did you strip the powdercoating or the paint off the file cabinet/locker before you started smoking?
Those paints and coatings will give off noxious chemicals if you cook with them on the surfaces

Props for building your own smoker...but if you don't live long to enjoy it,
I just got into smoking not so long ago--I bought a Weber Smoker...
Here's a link for lots of tips and recipes...

^^^ Nice, I was thinking about building one like yours, I like how it is set up...What temp do you try to keep your smoker at. I try to keep mine around 250 for about 5 hr with beef cut to 6"x2"x1". I am not sure if that is too much or too little. I would like to go lower, maybe just under 200.
