I will help you with a mod that will help even the heat in the cooking chamber.

[BourbonDrinker]

I can't say no to an offer like that! I'll let you know when I've got the smoker at my place.

Look up the Minion Method. Helps keep even eat over time.

I agree on the lump charcoal, I'm just not sure what's in those briquettes.

Hey, I have three cookers.....one is smoker used a couple of times, a old kettle grill that works great and a homemade grill (with stainless steel grates) I won in a raffle. I am sure I have something if the first grill does not work for you.

What kind, style and size it this one?

[BourbonDrinker]

Thanks for the offer. I think the first smoker will work for me. It needs a little TLC, but I think I can whip it into shape with a little wire brush, power washing, and high-temp paint.

[Blktre]

Need to add some tuning plates in that sucker!

[BourbonDrinker]

After I'm done with the wire brush and paint she should look better than new. The next plan is a heat deflector where heat passes into the smokebox and some firebricks in the fire and smoke boxes. I'll see if I can find a charcoal cage as well to put in the firebox.

Anyone have a spare metal cage the size of a milk crate?

Tuning plates would cost just a hair more than a reflector and will do much more for your heat distribution, imo.

@Blktre

I read up on tuning plates. They sound awesome for horizontal offset smokers, but this one is a vertical offset...
