hello,
i've used my okla joe's longhorn a long time as is, and it's always abeen fine for small amounts of meat, i can move things around to tolerate the hot and cool spots. but lately i've been cookin' a lot of meat, mostly when my retired fellow beer drinkers are out here. i've read the advice here for modifications and still have a few questions.
to put a 90 on the smoke stack and bring it down to the level of the grates, i got some 3 inch galvanized vent pipe stuff at the lumber yard, and it looks and fits pretty good. my questions is, is it safe to use this galvanized stuff, or do i need to lay it in a fire and burn it up for a while first? what i like about this is, when i only use the top grate, i can just use the 90, and when i put in the lower grates, i can add the extension back on and it fits just right on the lower grate. also, i need some more pictures of heat deflectors for a longhorn type firebox, i can make that up myself when i know exactly what i want. all help appreciated.
