    Side fire box "leaking"

    Here is one of the briskets that I pulled off the smoker.  I ended up wrapping it and finishing it off in the oven.  Planned on taking pics of the slicing process and smoke ring but my guests were hungry AND SO WAS I!!!!

    Side fire box "leaking"

    Dave - you're brilliant!  As of today, a great fella by the name of Zach from Chargriller customer service worked some magic with his supervisor and they are sending me a new firebox free of charge - even though my warranty was well expired!  Loved their Duo Smoker and now love their service...

    Side fire box "leaking"

    The firebox is warped!  Can't believe I didn't notice this..  Trying to work something out with CharGriler to get a firebox that isn't warped.  I'm out of warranty though...  we'll see if their customer service goes above and beyond...

    Side fire box "leaking"

    OK, this is confirming what I had suspected.  And that's good, because I was getting frustrated with my Boy Scout fire making skills!  The gap was like that when I purchased it, the lip that holds the charcoal shelf when it's pushed in doesn't align properly.  As Mormon suggested, I'm guessing...

    Side fire box "leaking"

    Looking for some advice..  I am having difficulty keeping my temperature at a constant heat.  I'm playing with different amounts of charcoal / lump, etc.  but am wondering if the gap in my smoker is playing a part too.  Any suggestions on the importance of "fixing" the gap??  Should I leave it...
