ok i added a few more pictures of the finished uds seasoning process sprayed inside with pam and a chimeney full of charcoal and a bag of cherry pellets ( never used pellets before but they sure smoke alot ). now with the heat shield i didnt get very far past 200 degrees although i dont have much patience. so i took the shield out and the damn thing blew past 400 degrees in a hurry all i need to do now is figure out how to control the temp but i think it will work fine with out the shield any suggestions on temp control?
