Charcoal Master Forge w/Weber vent question
My first post and I have a question.
I bought my Lowes Master Forge charcoal smoker while in Minneapolis brought it back to Canada and am modding it according to what I have read to make it more efficient. So I put a Weber four hole top vent on the lid but only drilled out two vent holes so far. I have two capped vents at the bottom of the charcoal pan and a ball valve in the front as well. Do I need to drill out the other two holes in the top vent for a target smoking temp of 225 degrees? Have the fiberglass replacement gasket kit for the lid that will go on todY to seal her up. Thanks for any replies. |

You can never have too much exhaust and you should be controlling the temp with the intake air. Just me but I would not use wood stove fiberglass rope it sheds and Glass shards in your gizzard anit good. I'd go with oven gasket or even Cotton rope.

Yes I would absolutely drill out the other two holes--and leave the vent holes completely open during the cook.
