Bigger burn box

[fdcyclone]

I want a bigger burn box and the coffee can thing and cake pan sound like good ideas.Is there anything special you have to do the can or the stand it sits on? And will any cake pan work? I didnt know if some of the coatings pans have would burn off and not be good for you.
Thanks in advance

Look for an uncoated cake pan (that's what I use). Pretty sure the coating will produce toxins when subjected to that much direct heat.

If you use a coffee can, be sure and drill some holes in it for air circulation. AS far as the stand is concerned, a pic would really help. Sometimes height between the stand and the rack above it will dictate the height of the coffee can. What type of smoker are you talking about? We need a clue please.
