I would put the water pan close to the fire box side

I got the same fire box last week......very happy with it

Also any baffle or whatever you use needs to have bigger holes/openings away from firebox. Starting with smaller openings closer to firebox and graduate to larger ones. That’s the whole purpose, to distribute the heat

Nice setup. I use to have that same pit. Happy smoking !

Wish i had your knowledge in that area

If you`re using tuner plates and/or baffles, leave the smoke stack alone. If you install a dryer vent pipe on the inside in the smoke stack while using tuning plates/baffles, you`ll drive yourself nuts with temp control issues. The only reason people use a dryer vent pipe in the stack inside is when they DON`T have tuning plates.

You should absolutely market that rake man! I'll take one

nice hi loks. I need one of those ti rakes

It is all about the flames

Do you by chance have the link for the firebox basket

He's talking like hes a pro cooking on that smoker but that thing hasn't even seen a flame in this vid.all that

I ran my temp probes up in the grease drain on mine until I decided to drill a hole and put an Weber silicon pass through in the side of it. How is it working out for you with all the mods you've done?

Your Doing To Much lol
