Just for the heck of it I added a grate 4 inches above the top of the charcoal basket and put a foiled pan I had left over from an old Brinkman I got rid of years ago on it. I think I like this WSM type set up a little better than the drippings landing on the wood and coals. I've had a 17.3 lb brisket on since 6:30 this morning and it's stayed right around 245 with three plugs out, and I don't miss the burned grease smell like before.
