Could I use my smoker in this place?

I got this offset smoker recently from a friend and I built this small area to store it. The intention was to then pick up the end closest to the gate and roll it out onto the driveway out back. I was concerned the place that it’s stored would be too close to the fence or stairs.

So the question lies. If I spun the smoker around so that the door faced me and the fire box’s opening faced towards the open gate. Would the fire box receive enough air and would it be far enough from anything it would cause heat damage? Can I just use it right where it’s at, or do I need to roll it out into the driveway like I originally planned?

Edit: thanks everyone! I’m gonna flip her around and do some ribs and maybe a pork loin this weekend! I’m glad all the work I put into that retaining wall and those pavers isn’t just gonna be for a glorified parking spot.
