    When firing up I center the basket in the firebox. Once I get Coalbed I push it away which leaves me room to Preheat my next splits. Rarely ever open top firebox lid- use the damper door & ELBOW LENGTH GLOVES & meat tongs to add to bed. All Dampers open 100% on 0-15 mph days. Only close...

    Smoked Chicken Easter Dinner

    I’ve thought about getting one of those myself. Wife likes mushy bed I prefer firm/supporting. Is that the situation that caused your issues or something else? Just wondering if a mattress can do that to someone?
