That looks fairly familiar... FYI Doc...that design does not like lump charcoal. I had to re-light mine 3 times Sunday at Paul Kirk's class...it kept cloggin' up at the bottom. If you wanna burn lump...use a charcoal grate (style) for the bottom. It was my first time using lump (provided by the class)...briqs work like a charm and will hold a low-n-slow forever...I used 3/4 holes in the bottom.
