    Smoker Design Help

    Any Ideas how to make me Big Chief smoker more efficient?

    I may be just be doing something everyone else is already doing, but I put my meat on the lowest rack, and then wrap the higher racks in foil, also I pull off the top of the smoker and spread 3 sheets of foil over the top and put the lid back on, it holds the heat better and gets me close to...
