I have noticed my bottom shelf is hottest, to be expected. However, wondering how many use heat diverter above transfer tube and was it worth it?

No moisture issues. really just curious if there are any result differences. Thanks.

Any use a water pan? Was there any dramatic results good or bad? Temperature issues? I was thinking of setting a aluminum full pan on the transfer tube and see what happens, just curious.

Great idea. Did this affect the interior skins much?

First cook went great. Made me realize how much I missed having a gravity feed. Purred along for 12hrs using 10-12lbs of fuel. Awesome. I think I am going to be building a mini next.

Same here

Do you mix your wood in the feed? I put mine in the pan.

I am using Stubbs charcoal. Weldun I take it you are only using lump?

I used nomex gasket on my cooker. First time. I ran into my charcoal chute door sticking together. It looks like due to the black tar like/ creosote that forms at the chute door. Has anyone else experienced this? Possible solutions?

Anyone had problems with the nomex sticking? I had my charcoal chute you're stuck. I had to rip the gasket. Bonded on both sides.

Yes on insulation and seals. Everything is fitted and removed to go tomorrow.

I would say sealed. Don't want the insulation absorb moisture.

It has been a hot summer here. So welding in 100+ degree not a priority for me. Someone please remind me ...

Had a lot going on lately. Here's where I am at. Unfortunately don't have anytime to work on it the next 2 weeks either. Lol. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170609/0241fc6145d3d59edc5df0b5cc93c968.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170609/8987e68c442d074f79073d26c11b0223.jpg Sent from my iPh...

Question...
Ok to use galvanized nipples for air intake and drain? Easier to find than black.
