Brisket finished - 10X easier cook without that baffle and the bottom of the brisket is not burnt!
Lesson learned.
Lesson learned.
Looking forward to hear how it works.Well, I gave in... yesterday, I got my grinder out and I cut that baffle out. I had good cooks with this smoker but it just required too much attention, so, I am going to see how it cooks without the baffle.
I bought a select grade point from HEB and it is cooking right now (I did not want to waste a whole brisket if things go wrong). We'll see how it goes without that baffle - but, early impressions are that it breathes better...
We'll see.
Hey Jason - how you been?Looking forward to hear how it works.

Agree 100%cutting that baffle out is a must do on one of these cookers
I have been good, been a busy year and our backyard was tore up for quite a bit of it with a project. Looks like I need to finally give in and cut the baffle out.Hey Jason - how you been?
I posted my cook here: Not Franklin Barbecue
Much better without that baffle!
It cooks much better without that baffle - in my humble opinion. Much easier fire management and more consistent temperature across the cook chamber.I have been good, been a busy year and our backyard was tore up for quite a bit of it with a project. Looks like I need to finally give in and cut the baffle out.
I will check out your cook.

You won't regret it. If you don't like it without you can always put it back inI need to finally give in and cut the baffle out.
