    Ok, i'll give it a go without water. 

    On the Callow (first gen) I've always had to have the top vent fully open to get enough airflow through. On the later models they added a second vent to allow better air flow to draw more air in but I guess with the fan doing the job of putting air as required that's not necessary. 

    I'll have a measure of the vent when I get home and let you know. Do you do the adapters like the one posted Here?

    We will have that adapter online soon, I'm working on that now... Not sure if it'll fit the Callow though - the vents are a little smaller.

    I'm hoping to get a chance to have a short test run of my new smartfire this evening with my first generation Callow. My fire basket as the modded mesh bottom (thanks @Wade) and for today I'm probably just looking at using water in the pan, though at some point i'd like to give sand a try.

    From what I've read round and about, I'm thinking the following setup should be my starting point.

    • Top vent fully open
    • 2 bottom vents closed
    • Adapter on third vent
    • firebasket setup as a minion with lit coals to the side opposite the position of the SF

    Does this sound about right?

    Any thoughts on adding a foil baffle round the top of the fire basket to ensure air goes through the basket?

    Any thoughts much appreciated :)

    Hi!

    • I'd avoid using water in the pan as this will fight against the Smartfire - even an empty pan with foil over it will work better.
    • Top vent may need to be closed a little, see how you get on.

    Otherwise you sound good to go! I've got a quick question, what size is the vent on the callow? - I want to make sure our adapters have a reliable list of compatible smokers on the website.
