    Eric, Wow!  Thanks so much for the all of the information.  For some reason the photo of my smoker would not load and I forgot to take that line out of my post.  I've had four runs so far.  I smoked a chicken, two chickens and two runs at scallops.  The chickens care out great.  The first one...
