Hey all,
Just did my first smoke on the aforementioned smoker. Big ol' rack of dino-sized beef ribs. Turned out pretty good but had a problem with the fire box. Had great heat (still need to replace the thermo) for about the first 2-3 hrs, but the ashes built up under the grate and I noticed my temps going down. Any suggestions? I noticed mods for making a charcoal basket but thought that wouldn't really solve the ash problem. I thought of maybe fashioning a trap door in the bottom using the door from a parted out SNG I have but wanted to see what you all thought.
Thanks for the help.
Ian
