Hello everyone! New member here.
I want to upgrade my PitBarrel Junior. I plan to add screws for more racks, a heat shield, and a thermometer. Oh yeah and I'll be modifying the intake so it can close all the way.
Other than screws and stuff, what else do I need? Has anybody drilled a PitBarrel before? Won't I need a special bit for the porcelain enamel layer? I noticed the PB comes with gaskets for its screws, but I don't know what they are called so I can't find them. I can use gasket compound but it is usually red and messy. I would rather something solid.
Also I googled a bit and noticed people use steel pizza pans as a heat shield. I can get one but how thin can it be? I figure 1/8" is good, but does it really matter? I plan to smoke a lot of veggies on racks so I need consistent temps all around.
Thank you everybody!
