Hey all,
I am in the process of planning out a smoked porter for my next brew but I have not done an AG porter before, what I am aiming for is not a 'whoah that smoky' but also not really subtle either with an ABV of around 4.8%
Here is my current recipe based on other porter recipes I have seen here and there, is there anything obviously amiss that I can correct before I brew?

Removed all peated (10%) following comments from ashplub, BeerPressure and cactusgarrett (thanks!)
