Hi my first post. My wife got me the oaklahoma combo smoker grill for my birthday. I’ve read a lot and the seal mods but not the chimney mod yet. The first thing I noticed is that the smoker chamber gets hot , too hot even with a little bit of hardwood coal . So I took a foil pan and cut a hole on the bottom so it only lets heat and smoke in through the smaller area and flipped the coal pan over and pressed it up to the opening to act as kinda a heat diverted. After doing this I had no problem keeping temp steady around 225-245 with enough charcoal to burn for an hour or so.
I’m wondering if anyone else here has suggestions or if it works don’t fix it
