Like Ive said before, I dont use water in mine. I use fire brick to create a fuse burn. I get very good temp control this way. I also plug the exterior water fill inlet to ensure Im not feeding air in or out of the cooker though this opening. I want to control the air in and out with the ball valve and exhaust damper. Remember, Chris Godlander, the builder has one of these on his patio too. So he is a good source for tips and techniques. Here is a picture of him and his cooker at his home.
