Thanks ConrodM. Nice looking Brisket there!
I have not yet tried the 'biscuit' test, to see if/where there may be Hot Spots. But using the charcoal tray as a heat baffle sounds cool/cost effective.
Additionally, I have heard that doubling the smoke stack height, up by about 24", helps to increase the Draw within the cook chamber. During my seasoning process, I did notice quite a bit of smoke coming back out of the fire box door on several occasions, due to what I believe might be poor draw. I am hoping that increasing the draw might help remedy that issue. I think they also said it helps to naturally even out the temperatures in the cook chamber, by not allowing the flow of hot air to Stall on the stack side of the chamber.
Has anyone here experimented with increasing their smoke stack height on the Wrangler? If so, what were your results, and how much height did you end up ultimately adding?
Best Regards,
Phil
