Smokin Monkey Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 It will be like most budget smokers, will need putting together using high temp sealant and wood stove gaskets around the doors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flearider Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 hmm the thin metal can't hold the heat well .. it's now been sealed and taped so no smoke is lost .. was thinking of putting clay on the inside .. but will just start saving for something proper .. it works ok did a chicken on it the other day as a test 2 1/2 hrs.. but used 1/2 a bag of lumpwood .. taste was good still moist .

flearider Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 so going to try a tray as a baffle as i think the main hole from box to grill is to big ? or get some sheet steel and slot it in .. ? ive also grabbed another grill and set them higher to allow more air flow to the coals ..hope this will bring better heat . also a pic of my grill ..3 yrs old now and yes the open part gets covered by tinfoil once the height is set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
