Hello from New Jersey

[lemans]

Hey,
It's a pleasure to be here .I am a newbie
I visited my friend in Virginia had has a acorn smoker and made me ribs.. Well that's all it took!! I have a chargrill duo with a side firebox
( really a trio) I have made the following mods:
I lowered the smoke stack to the grill level, I have made a 12x12 charcoal bin for the fire box, installed two thermometers at grill level
And have a horizon convection plate on order.
What else do I need to do?
