Out of the box, it works. With some tweeks, works awesome.
"Tweeks?" you ask...
High temp JB Weld on seams in fire box, smoke box and dividing wall of the propane and charcoal chambers.
Fire proof rope on upper seam and holes in same dividing wall.
Made a pipe extension for the exhaust out of flashing. Used some rivots to make it look nice.
Removed rubber spacers from smoke box and charcoal chamber, then replaced with 1/8 inch gasket from fireplace window gasket. The fire box one for sure but you can use BGE gasket to boot.
Used BGE gasket on bottom charcoal vent, basket handle guard, and small holes in charcoal side lid.
Flashing shield that acts like heat/smoke defuser to disapate well... heat and smoke.
Made my own grate for the fire box to keep the ambers from falling through.
And that is about it. If you have noticed that most is on the smoking side, it needed it the most. This way more heat less smoked where you want it. I have been practicing with my smoking and with smoking at least twice a week and I am loving it (as is everyone else).
First time smoker, lifetime addicted.
Cheers.
