    Yeah Cranky, I have now added some tuner plates and have tried one burn but didnt get real good results yet. The temp was at 250 at the top center thermometer and 208 at the grate level left side and 267 at the fire box side grate level! I am going to move them a bit closer together at the fire...

    I agree with Ribwizzard on this! I was thinking more about the smoker box. I misread the thread title! I am trying to regulate heat better( another issue). Sorry about that!

    Very nice slimc! This looks like what I want. I didnt notice but did you need a door clamp or anything to keep the good seal?

    Does anyone make a kit to seal the Pecos offset smoker? Or what have any of you used to seal yours? I read that some have just smoked on them and over time they have gotten better. I dont see how thats possible if the same gaps are there. I am getting alot of smoke leakage and I assume heat loss...

    Cheapest meat?

    Chuck roast, nice! That could be fun. Would you sear the roast first and smoke it slow or would you do anything special to it?

    Cheapest meat?

    I have a few butts in the freezer. I think that will work for the weekend!

    Cheapest meat?

    Yeah, I've smoked a few butts and they turned out good. I was thinking of maybe a tougher cut of meat that is cheap and would tender up after a while on the smoker. I guess I was thinking about the challenge. Not that I really need a huge challenge yet!!

    Cheapest meat?

    I was wondering if there is a meat that is inexpensive some of you may have smoked that will tender up and turn out pretty good? I thought this would be a fun project for a weekend when not much is going on!
