These are the things I like! Upgrading, tweaking and working with your materials, instead of buying a new one. 👍

Strong magnet with a piece of lava lock gasket works great to seal the probe hole. Easier to remove & replace too.

Those smoke like a boss products deliver as promised. 💯 But be prepared to wait around 3+ weeks after ordering for delivery

when i got my 700FB there was no chimney and has holes in back. took off the side plate, installed a chimney. and used bolts and washers and nuts to close up the back holes. saw that froma youtuber :)

I put some lava lock in my 1150 recently and for some reason the section I put by the hinges got smashed it and smeared like it almost melted or something. The other 3 sides are perfect. I also put a small square of lava lock under the logo In the center because it was leaking smoke. My temps have been way better also with the smoke like a boss mods. Left probe deflector was a littler hard for me to install. Now my sear drip pan sits crooked lol. I put the Heat tamer left to right and get better results than front to back, front to back gave me a 8-10 degree higher hot spot in the center just like yours

Decent vid BUT... Me being honest my smoker isn't losing smoke to the point where I need this. Low & slow is the point of smoking. The small openings aren't affecting my smoke rings/flavor profiles so badly that I need to do all this but thanks for the info.

I use a 1m x 1m x 6mm welding blanket as insulation to conserve a little fuel.

Would love to see the exact same potato and probe experiment with the 2 deflectors removed. Before and after… the heat deflector mod is nice and custom cut etc. the heat pot diffuser is piece of metal, bent twice, for $36…. Would like to see IF they are helping.

You’re actually making me think about getting a Pit Boss instead of a GMG

What if you turned that fire box heat deflector 99 degrees to blow out the left and right, as opposed to the front and back and added a lip on the right side to push more heat toward the left?

Good info!

This all makes my 2002 Treager look that much better. Thanks for all the tips!

Anyone do any mods to their pitboss vertical 7 series smoker? A video on that would be nice.

Interesting video, thanks for all the input I’ve done all these to my 1150 pro series and my hot spot is to the left still actually Any other ideas to try and get temperature more even across the grates

So thinking if u took that plate newr the temp probe back out it would probably even out temps all across the grill. Give it a try since u didnt mount it permanently.

Hey Serg I just got a pitboss competetion series 1250. Are there any vent mods for controlling smoke from this pit since it doesn't have a smoke stack?

I ordered the linked o-rings and a got a bag of tiny ones. Can you post the dimensions of what you ordered so that I can find it? I’ll post a picture in your Facebook group too.

I have a pit boss pro series combo smoker gas grill. The soker side has holes on the back and I'm losing smoke. is there something I can do about this.. Frankie J

How would you bullet proof the Competition Series Rolling lid?

Do they make a tape for the comp series for the barrel? Lose alot thru there.

Any mods for a pit boss Brunswick smoker

Will the heat deflector mod work on the pro series 850?

Question - I have a Pitboss 1600 Pro. It has a gasket already but still leaks smoke. Would the lava rock tape help?

The weight of the lid will be on the tape regardless of where it's attached!!!

Do you really think that this little bit of smoke is going to makea difference

I take no advice from a man who uses pellets. 😂

Dang man I just been smoking basically in a grass hut 🛖
