Chicken Man!!!
If you go with one like I made for Bristow, go ahead and make 6 exhausts, but you might buy a couple of plugs just in case. He said it ran a little hot and had to put paper towels in a couple of them. But, better too much and cap it than not enough and need it.
Make a hanger for the lid.
Put handles at the top and bottom of the barrel for easier dumping of the ashes.
In fact, mount some sort of tray under the coal basket to catch the ash that lifts out with it.
Good luck!
