Weekend BB Rib Smoke w/ Q View

Mballi- that is basicly a metal plate cut to match the curve of the kettle and lid.  It slides between the grate and keeps the coals and lots of the heat to one side.  when you put the lid on with the vents on the opposite side from the coals it creates a "convection" situation with your heat and smoke.  works really well and only cost me a couple bucks to do.  I originally wanted to use a pizza stone, but it wasnt big enough to do what I wanted.  I also added a grate level thermo to get a better handle on temps.
