Adding an offset fire box to a vertical smoker.

[tjmitche]

I haven't done a lot of testing yet. I put 1/2 chimney of kingsford in, then a small split of apple wood. As the coals burned down i ended up running on just coals from the wood. It stayed between 200 and 250. I added a split of wood every time the temp started to fall slightly. I did not put the damper plate on in thinking that i could use less fuel to get a higher smoker temp.

Any chance you're still using this set up? I am making this conversion this summer to my highly modified Masterforge.
Thx!!
