Well it's been a while since I have had a smoker. Got a great place for it at my fish camp. Been looking for a while and saw where Home Depot had a clearance sale on the Chargriller smoking champ. Couldn't resist. I have had one before and turned out some great barbaque.



Well since I am retired and needed a project I decided to mod it out. Got the lavalock gaskets and sealant and sealed it up. Even put latches on the ash d



Ordered the S1 and Brezo fan. I have a history of unique disasters. Installed that system and started a fire with a little charcoal and splits. Installed the fan in one of the damper holes and sealed the others with the furnished tape. Had everything opened up while tending my fire. Little fan was just blowing away. Looked over and noticed the fan was drooping. The whole nose of it was melting down. Never heard of this in all the utube videos I watch

Well what now! I cut off the nose with my sawsall and made an extension to get it away from the fire. Worked great.View attachment 727380View attachment 727379
