Jim Bowie Mods

Golfpro2301, I noticed your post about mods for the GMG Jim Bowie and wanted to see if you have done any other mods to your Jim Bowie smoker? I have the Jim Bowie Smoker runs on wifi 5.9 firmware. Here are the mods that I have done to mine so far still working the out front shelf not a big fan on the stock shelf they gave me with my Jim Bowie. I added a bottom storage shelf not just for storage more for stability for the smoker it self, then I made new main grilling grates and made a second cooking shelf that slide out. I also added a Tel-True thermometer in place of the stock thermometer. I did add the Don Godke's downdraft system and it does help even out temps along with more smoke in the smoker. My temperature from right to left is about 1-3 degrees from right to left before they would be about 50 degrees off right to left. Don't get me wrong these pellet smoker will never produce the smoke you get from a offset stick burner! But, you can add the amazen pellet smoke tube to get the extra smoke and I'm sure you know that lol. Anyway take a look at the mods I did and tell me what you think. As always Happy Smokin'

Thanks for the comment on my mods. On the high temp insulation was that just place in the center of the drip pan or just over top the heat deflector it self? On my JB it has a one piece heat deflector, the older models have the 3 piece heat deflector of it possible could you send me a picture curious to see this lol. email me [email protected] I'd appreciate it. I'll take a look on Amazon and look for the collapsable shelf brackets. Thanks again

I recommend checking out pelletheads.com and going to the GMG section.  You can get plenty of ideas from those guys.
