Hi All,

I purchased my Jim Bowie back in 2012 and back then I had it dialed in so I had a 5-10 degree swing from left to right. Fast forward through a couple of moves to a new state and new elevation (near sea level to over 6000ft), my JB is no longer in balance. Now my JB has a nearly 100 swing from left to right/front to back. It seems that I can no longer get it back into balance.

Given that my JB has the older steel diffuser and drip try, I am curious what upgrades you think would be best? Would the newer stainless steel diffuser or drip pan be better or would the downdraft be a better upgrade?

Thanks in advance
