I'm actually not far from the Lone Star guys and I did look into the basket but decided to build one myself. It has made a huge difference in fire management. (excuse the ashes, I cooked yesterday and haven't clean her out yet)- JayDoug

Thanks Paulie, I'm not trying high jack your thread but I was thinking about doing the deflector thing too. I thought that was the only way to get even temps across the CC.- JayDoug

You hit the nail on the head, coming out of the fire box is screaming hot. So air flow is key, my FB is 2'x2'x2' and the opening into the CC is 14" x 3 (42sq/in) Would it help if I made that opening a little larger and added air inlet toward the top on the side of the FB?- JayDoug

Hey Guys, new here Question Dave, does your theory only work for reverse flow pits? I have a 250Gal offset and I can really only use the far size when I'm smoking. Unless I'm cooking a chicken then I can put it on the side closest to the fire box because the temp is so much higher.- JayDoug
