Quick fix

[whatamess]

I start my AMNPS with a heat gun. I've found if I load the next row over, when the afterburners kick in it can ignite the pellets in the middle row, so I've been filling it after I get it started. But the metal is hot and smoke gets on my eyes trying to fill it properly, so I made a quick fix while fashioning another heat shield for inside the smoker. Behold!

Yes and I noticed it seemed to light faster using just the blowtorch on it, I suppose added reflected heat.
