That is how I have done mine, thread it though a hole in the side and stick it through a block of wood in the middle of the grate.

I'm considering moving my temperature gage from the side of my drum to the lid. Does it give more accurate readings there?

Do you have a fire going in there or is that the wonderful Cali ambient air temp showing up on the temp gauges? 110*!?!?

A little trick to for removing paint after burn is take a wire wheel like this and trap between 2 nuts and washers on a 3 ft. piece of 1/2 allthread (threads are to fit 5/8-11thd shaft). Chuck up in a descent 1/2" drill motor and run up and down inside of drum while spinning.

Wire brush would be good. I see you cheated and didn't read all 50+ pages!

I'll get my 18 year old to show me how. I thought I had ended my search for a smoker when I bought my Stump GF223 2 years ago. This thread has thrown me a curve ball! I can't wait to get started. I have been impressed! This site reminds me of Stumps site a year ago.

Looks good to me...I like the draft valve up high so I don't have to bend over.
