Thanks, I was already planning that. My fire grate is only about 10.5" wide and sits very close to the bottom of the firebox. I got a tip from another NBBD owner to make it 14" which will raise it up considerably.

As I have been reading this thread, I thought of a way to snake the fuel. I may try that, but it would be harder to refuel than your method.
Great stuff Bigabyte. We should rename this thread "Horizontal Offset Smoking 101"
