I plumbed my needle valve up to the front for the sake of convenience but no matter where you put it, function is the same. SEMIsmoker, here's a simple mod I did to control my smoke and temp.....
All I did was separate the "brackets" from the tray and drill a hole in each tab. Then cut some stainless tubing about 1 1/4" long and stuck some bolts through to hold it. Use extra long bolts for further adjustability. And I prefer to skip the stock chip box and use tin foil.
For my chips, I like to mix some fine Smokehouse chips with some coarser chips. Once the fine ones get going it helps to keep the coarser chips burning longer when using a smaller flame at the burner.
