I love my drum, but I'm having trouble getting the temps to run anywhere close to even. Without a heat diverter the center is obviously super hot and with it, the sides are running hot and the center is something like 30-40 degrees cooler than either side. I'm using a large pizza pan as the diverter and I've tried placing it on the bottom u-bolts and on top of the charcoal basket itself. No real difference.
I'm going to drill some holes in the center of the pizza pan and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a pattern? Also, what are the most even temps I should expect on a drum using a well tuned heat diverter? I'm hoping to use the drum at comps as a chicken cooker, but I need to have some control on the evenness of the temps. Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks.
