Thoughts? I'm a first time builder and a newbie 'que-er. |
Yes you need to get the inside liner out. use a weed burner from the outside. that will make it go fast.
for a basket if you dont want to assemble one, you can take a water pan from a ECB and drill holes in it and rest it on a grate near the bottom. i got a good 12 hour burn out of one of those.
