Need details on the blower setup! Definitely a neat looking setup! :thumb:
Just finished up a valve mod over the weekend. I was getting tired of guessing and checking the valve ball locations during a cook. So I decided to make the adjustment easier to get to and easier to know the valve status.
You know the drill, no pictures then it did not happen --pictures please
Why didn't you just put an elbow on the nipple, a length of pipe and mount the ball valve near the top of the drum so you could see it?
I have 3 valves and doing all 3 in pipe is just too bulky IMO. Plus, I've read some things about air flow issues with the extended pipe and valve remoted like your pictures.
I know the valve location based upon the handle location, much like the oriignal on the valve. Jsut got tired of bending over and adjusting and checking.
Besides, I have a welder, chop saws, tap & die kits, time, and I like to fabricate.
Just another way to "skin a cat". :clap2:
air flow issues with the extended pipe
would not be affected by elbows or length of pipe

SK... so if yo have three valves, during your cook, after you've got the heat up, etc, are you opening all three slightly, or some variation thereof? Just curious, as I was thinking of doing the same to mine, and playing with air from three sides, rather than just one. Didn't know if that was the thought, or would it make a difference...
I'm thinking that with three valves, equally spaced, the charcoal basket will burn evenly and better as opposed to one or two intakes, just a theory. But, this design works for me, and I have no problem getting the drum up to temp or dropping it and holding it to below 200.
