OK JOE Diffuser Plate ?
I have not bolted the diffuser plate to the firebox/CC wall which leaves a 1/4 inch gap allowing air to move up into the CC instead of down from the Firebox. When I close the gap with aluminum foil, it makes the FB side of the CC much hotter, which is odd to me. Has anyone had this issue? ...- tcs1

That looks good. How did you cut the steel? Would aluminum work in your opinion?- tcs1

Diffuse Plate Issue OK JOE Longhorn
I have a gap between the diffuser plate and offset firebox. The directions to install the plate gives you two bolts to eliminate the gap, but that takes away the ability to remove the diffuer plate easily. When I covered the gap with tinfoil, I expected the temperatures to get a little...- tcs1

OK Joe Longhorn Out of The Box
FIxed. Moved the water tray about 10 inches away from the firebox side and covered some of the bigger holes in the diffuser plate on the right side of the grill. I now get temps a bit higher on the left side than the right (firebox side). I also moved the coal box toward the firebox door...- tcs1

Got the diffuser plate in, along with gaskets. I also purchased a 12 x 10 x 6 coal box. Terrible time keeping the temperature up, even with thefirebox door open. I've used RO lump and Kingsford Competition with Pecan and Apple chunks, but my temp hovers around 210 on the left and 225 on right...- tcs1

Gotta take a break from smoking
Great opportunity to get your son involved. I smoked ribs and chicken all weekend and got my 15 year old son involved. He loves the science of smoking more than I ever thought. Great times.- tcs1

OK Joe Longhorn Out of The Box
Got that on the way with the coal basket. My biggest issue now is the air around the firebox door. There is about a 1/8 inch gap between the door and firebox all the way around when it is closed. My temporary solution is tin foil. I think I am going to try and put a gasket around the outside...- tcs1

Some others have posted their issues. I refuse to believe this is brain surgery. I read a few posts about this smoker and did what the majority ascribed on the mods. Not much more difficult than my other smokers. Works very well and didn't cost much to get there.- tcs1

OK Joe Longhorn Out of The Box
All good out of the box. Everything was unopened, all there and the instructions were very simple. Going to fire it up in a couple days after the permatex cures. I did't put any sealant inside smoke box. Hope it holds tight. Also, oly 250 lbs in the box. I thought it was going to be closer...- tcs1
