    Looks good Kingdemo...   I see that your vent must have been an offset from the back burner too...  i don't know why they changed them...   They used to come straight up through the middle of the right rear element - would make for a much smoother install...   I have a schematic for it now -...

Back to addressing the issue of serviceability for the smoke box...  I had an unused tool box sitting around, and it seemed to be about the right size, config, and price to test out a different angle towards making the tending and refill tasks a bit easier.   Here's a couple of bad...

    About this time, the PID showed up.  It was a bit confusing tring to decypher all of the timers, safety switches, etc. as far as where to jump-in and place the relay for the element as there are a ton of wires and crap going on - and I hadn't found the scematic at that point.   But, I did end up...

    Thanks to some good information and research from this forum, I checked into PIDs and ordered a cheap amazon PID and relay for the temp issue... Which left me time to try and adress the smoke side of things.... In  an effort to actually find the flash point and smoldering temp of the woods - I...

    Wich brought me to my first mock-up of the temporary set-up to understand the general concept of where i was going... some wheels, temp. adjustable support for smoke chamber, etc... ...And , a bit later, to my first run through to see if it even had a chance in hell of actually working..  Put...
