NEVER put the Dyna-Glo on a wood deck!
According to the National Fire Protection Association:
"Sparks, embers or flames from operated cooking equipment resulted in 24,900 fires and 120 deaths in 2016."
Now, back to the mods. Here's a pic of the insulation that I put on mine.
I chose these 1-inch thick mineral wool boards for a few reasons. They're non-combustible (it's basalt, not glass) and there's no plastic to melt or give off noxious fumes. Also, it's foil-faced to reflect radiant energy back inward.
You can see to the left of the photo how I wrapped the edges in sheet metal angle, then foil tape over that. The final step was to paint over all the foil with high-heat flat black paint.
I'd say it's worked out great because it'll hold 225F for a couple hours on very little charcoal.
