After playing with this all afternoon, I can now see I need to seal the door properly with a gasket and probably seal around the element entry port as that is a big air leak. I’ve plugged the drain hole at the bottom and also the little original exit port at the back near the top, which I’m using for my probe wire entry, but I have it stuffed with foil right now. I know I’m about 15 years behind the original mailbox mod but I really love playing with this stuff and it’s a great learning experience. I know this little smoker is going to be perfect for doing snack sticks, and other sausages and in the winter time, cheese, etc. I still might pull it all apart and insulate it.
