I am sorry I couldn't find the link, its buried deep on my amazon history. But I purchased it from there and found a local hose and fitting shop and told them what I was doing they made the lines for me etc. Cost about 15 for the flame out and another 50 for them to make the set up. Ill try and...

I was going to use some of the leftover food-grade aluminum I lined it with actually

Like this? I have thought about putting a moon on the door

I use an adjustable pressure regulator for mine. I have a flame out switch on it but when I open my door I do lose some heat but comes back in 3 mins

I have the aftermarket PID board in now I will set it to lo smoke and see if it ever stabilizes this weekend with the chimney off. But that is some good info maybe it needs to come back down I just figured it never went 100 plus over before something must be wrong. If this doesn't work I will...

On start up but it never comes down. If its set for 200 it will go to well over 300. Never stablizes

I have a remote thermoworks use it for my other smokers to. I have the plate in place even ordered a new heat diffuser

I haven't replaced the fan. It is coming off and on. Using the PID board it the fan will even slow. I have used a wireless temp prop on the grates a few inch from the side where the control prop is. I see a few degrees difference no big deal but the control even says its higher. For example i...

I put the new probe in the same place as the original. I can try and take the chimney back off. Ill try that tonight when i get home

I own a Pitboss classic. After a year and a half started to get run away, temps. Not all the time but also had a huge temp swing of up to 50 degrees as well. So I purchased a PID Control modified my hopper to fit the new board, upgrade the burn pot and new glow rod, and new temp sensor. After...

Thank you I do have it much higher now I push it flush with the interior. I wish I had of went to the highest point now. Maybe I should increase the Diameter I believe it is only 3 inch but it 24"

I tried searching but looking for some advice on how to increase my draw. I have moved my chimney up taller and flush with the ceiling. But the smoke still seems to try and push out the door more than anything. I removed the cap on the chimney. Should I make the chimney Longer? Bigger? Is it too...

I used untreated tongue and groove for the outside of mine. But I lined it with 1/2" concrete boards and 1/8" non coated aluminum. I don't run over 225 but have had it up to 350 for a few mins with no issues. I feel I would probably be ok running higher but no reason to for me. I did a direct...

I don't soak it, I have tried makes no impact. I actually took the advise and went with less wood, is i smoke on lower temps I can get the then smoke, However on higher temps, over 200. It has a tendency to catch the wood on fire. I ll post more pics in a few min
