    Fire box opening

    Gentlemen, I am happy to say that seasoned the new and improved NBBD this morning and cooked a couple of chickens on it today.  Lowering the FB made such a difference, just after I put a chimney of 15 coals into the FB with the doors of the FB and CC open I was drawing some smoke through the...
