Cooking security - addition of a slam latch on FEC120 door?

longwayfromhomeTravelling hopefully ...

Hi there

Just about to place my order for an FEC120 for a B&M setup. I will be leaving the smoker unattended (with remote monitoring of temp via an internet connection) in a kitchen that is part of a bar that will be "attended" for 6-7 hours after I leave. In theory there is no issue with this because no one is "supposed" to be in the kitchen, but I have to be sure. I am looking for a way to secure the door on the 120.

My thought is to put a lockable slam latch on the main smoker door. A slam latch is like the handle/latch that is on the access door for the combustion chamber. These can be of a lockable type. Has anyone done this, or do you know if CS do this mod?

I am aware I also have to be concerned with people fiddling with the controller ("I wonder what this button does?"), the non-locking hopper, and the electricity switch itself. That is another story.

Any thoughts, experience, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA.
