I doubt if I make the firebox lid mod. Unless I make it temporary. My Dera seems to want to chug along at 225-250 naturally. Ofcourse I have to feed it about once an hour but thats the nature of the beast.

This raises another Bandera question: Will the lid mod improve my fuel efficiency? Im sure a lot of heat comes right up out of the top of the firebox.

My plan is to get a BGE for high temp stuff like pizzas and breads.
