    New Yorker here-New to the site

    Welcome Rob! Are you a stationary engineer? What local? If you use the handy search bar at the top of the screen and search for charcoal basket... The instructions are simple I just made one this morning... You'll fit a ton more charcoal and once you make temp in the smoker and just adjust the...

    Can I do this?

    Ok guys got my tuning plates today! Bad day to try it out cause the wind is absolutely brutal out there but I really couldn't wait! I had them made out of 1/4" steel... Using my maverick I actually moved my thermometer place ment even farther apart... So about 1" shy of end to end of the grill...

    Can I do this?

    That turned out nice... Do you use a basket in the firebox or just the "tray" that it came with? Lump or briquettes? Are you able to get enough fuel inside without a box for a long smoke like a brisket?

    First smoke

    Looks great so far! 250 isn't bad at all. Is there water in that drip pan? If not maybe try adding spine if you want your temp closer to 225!

    Can I do this?

    Great stuff! Thanks Dave!!! Just to see what would happen I wrapped the 2 cast iron grates in foil to create a solid surface. I then angled the first one as shown in your diagram and then layed the other one longways next to it and like I said I then only had about a 25-30 degree difference...

    Can I do this?

    Thanks again... This morning I installed the plate to extend the back of the CC up and I made some makeshift tuning plates and fired it up! My near side temp topped out at about 260. Which is just fine for right now. And I got the temperature difference down to only 30 degrees from 90- 100...

    Can I do this?

    Thanks! and do I have to have the first one on the angle from the top of the opening into the firebox?  Would not having that plate defeat the purpose of the whole "system"? and does it matter how close to the cooking grates these are? Sorry for all the questions I'm a newbie!

    Can I do this?

    Thanks! Your basically referring to "heat deflectors" right? I want to add something g to the back because I can see a lot of smoke coming from that area. So I figure if I decrease that I increase the heat inside the grill? Am I incorrect in thinking this? So if not stainless then jus...

    Can I do this?

    ok I cut out all of the metal on the grill side of the connection... I am now making temps on the near side of the grill upwards of 270! However, there is almost a 70 degree difference from side to side at the grate with my Maverick.  My next plan was to get a strip of stainless steel to add to...

    Can I do this?

    Ok guys here is a pic of inside the firebox looking at the grill. So far so good the temp is up to about 170 so far I just added more coal I only added like 1/3 of a chimney and nothing underneath to continue the burn I don't want it to go for that long
