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

Like all domes top is hotter. i have 3 racks and average. Moat times 30-50 degrees delta.
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.
