    Faulty welds

    Hi Dave, I haven't addressed much, other than I plan to open up the vent into the cooking chamber from the fire box. It was recommended that I remove the part that keeps the vent partially covered. I may open it up little by little to see how the temp improves. As far as the stack is, I won't...
