Hello All, so I just got a 30" MESS and a AMNPS. From advice from this forum I went ahead and gutted the wood chip loader, wood chip pan, and the heat deflector off as well because of the was it was made. I then finished the mailbox mod.

My question is now that my element is uncovered should I make a new sheild to cover it from drippings and spread the heat? Or will keeping the water pan (it's the big oval type that goes from one side to the other) be good enough?

Here a pic of the mod, I'll try to add another one of the inside later, but out of town at the moment.

Thanks for the advice!
