Hi Jack, haven't modified the condensation chamber yet. Not sure if I will. If I do, I want to do something that will leave the bottom interior of the chamber flush or a low point. No sense in putting something in there if it still leaves a raised lip to hold moisture. I don't have welding skills so, if anything, I'll drill a hole in it then I'll just use a screw to plug it and remove it periodically to drain. But in the end I'm not sure if it needs it. Maybe more of a convenience thing.
And I haven't used it for food yet. I want to convert a dead kegerator to a smoker but haven't got that far yet. And if I incorporate it with my pellet grill I want to add a port to hook up the hose from the cold smoker. My only other option for using it with the pellet grill is to stick it up the grease drain. Not ideal.
My intent was to use this for sausage and cold smokes. Here in Florida cold smokes can only happen like 3 days a year and those days don't fall in June!!!
I'm confident it will do the job well when the time comes. The smoke this thing put off during the test just smelled so dang nice!! Much better than any smoke that's come off my pellet grill and I have no complaints with the food that comes off of that.
