bishgeo, When I put my heat baffle in I used a drawing from the master minds of Dave and Ribwizzard. The plate is bolted to the top of the FB in two places, then 3 bolts run along both the right and left sides. What this did was allowed me to adjust the height of the baffle to fine tune it. Did...- jhsdigital

FIRED UP !!!!! Well today I finally fired up the smoker to season it. Sprayed the inside down with peanut oil and started its first burn.

Dockman, the length of the stack is what Feldons Smoker Calculator required it to be with the numbers I punched in.
