IT worked great, had a perfect blue smoke for 4 hours, heat was easy to manage added a small log every 20-30 mins at 210 and would spike a little to 250 and manage between there.  I had one rough spot where the heat got ot 300 but it also lite the bottom of the grill on fire. So that is why I had to move it inside.  Does anyone know how I should take care of this?  Im replacing the bottom today and I have to make another pork shoulder for Sat.  I dont want the box to burn down but im worried the bottom will always ignite?  ANy help is useful!

Side note the Pulled pork was the best I ever made!  Props to everyone at SMF for all the help.
