Was planning my NYE smoke of baby backs and prime rib. The high temp for the day was a balmy 5*. I was concerned about holding temperatures and not wanting to burn through a whole tank. I have made many mods to this master forge smoker and it runs very efficiently. I decided the day before that I was going to need to make some more changes to ease my concerns. I picked up some tin and cut it to fit the bottom right, left, and back sides of the bottom of the unit to block wind and hopefully direct heat upwards. I also stopped and picked up a cheap welding blanket ($23) and cut a hole for the stack and wrapped it up. These seemed to really help. My temps stayed steady and I was running it on medium to low for the whole cook.
