Thanks for the details Boomer. Looks like the top of your throat is about 3” or so above grate level. Mine is right at grate level. I suspect that is a contributing factor. I would guess the heat would leave the FB through the throat at the top and travel over the top of the baffle instead of being redirected upwards sharply to accelerate convection. Just guessing but plan on testing.

How high does the grate go inside the cooker? I have a 30 inch tank, should I put the grate at 15"?

Right in the middle. Gets you the most grate space.

Question for you. What’s your take on the double lid design? Are you liking it vs. having a single? Nice build by the way.

In case you missed the other posts, Dave sadly passed away last year.
