Hey Captain 480,
I am a Newbie also so take everything I say with a grain of salt. I believe the cast iron grates in the SFB are for grilling seeing that if you do not use the SFB as an SFB it can be a stand alone portable grill. I am having good luck with just turning the Smoke chamber pan over and using a bread pan of water as a baffel on the SFB side of the smoke chamber. I have noticed the biggest benifits from extending the smoke stack and covering the smoke chamber with a welding blanket as it is mentioned on this post often. It is twnety degrees out and I am holding temprature between 220 and 240 for three hours now. good luck!!
