...of the CC that are used to connect it to the firebox, I was able to get one of the tuning plates to rest up against those two bolts and create a 45* angle which has helped force the heat down and under the rest of the tuning plates. Also, I don't think clamps are necessary if you get the high...
That brisket looks awesome! Did you get a good smoke ring in the MES? I have been looking at getting one for a while but my buddy who has one says it's hard to get a good smoke ring (not that smoke ring is super important when you have a brisket come out looking like yours). Great job! 128077
