Rat there is a good forum for this kind of stuff, this thread has every modification I could think of. I especially like
the flexible aluminum dryer hose, the real deal, not the foil kind, attached to the inner stack output and flexed along
the contour of the top lid down near the grate. REALLY evens out the smoke distribution to my liking. Tooting my
own horn here, but the smoked ribs and pork I turn out I would put up against any I have ever tasted or seen in
competition. Best taste to me for sure, maybe in comps I would have trouble competing for 3rd, lol.
