I think this is an area where Master Forge improved upon Brinkmann's design; so I'm not sure. I got plenty of ventilation. The only time I had problem was when I started a second batch of charcoal and didn't clean out the ash.

Straight answer: No!
We dont really have the weather to get us outside often enough, except for maybe 2 months durting the summer(if were lucky). However, if bad weather keeps you indoors we'd barely get outside at all in Ireland. The main impediment to outdoor cooking here is the wind and rain, cold wouldnt stop me going outside as you can dress for it and still be comfortable. I use my oudoor gas grill more than most. I use it in all weathers, even fire it up on christmas day because my ovens arent big enough for the amount of food(12~15 people). I'm always dragging my kids out to the garden and this is just another great excuse. You could count the amount of BBQ restaurants in Dublin on one hand(I can only think of 2), but people would love it if they could get it. Im just back from a 6 week stint in Phoenix with my job and there was loads of BBQ there, couldnt get enough of it! Ive been building an outdoor wood fired pizza oven which is nearly ready to fire up also and am planning a whole outdoor cooking area. |

Thanks for the advice everyone!
Im convinced on 'some' of the mods. Ill get the charcoal pan sorted before my first cook, I'll also put in a thermometer under the upper cooking rack (best location?). I'll also do the air inlet mod at some stage but I think I'll start with sliding_billys recommendation of a ceramic bowl covered in foil slid underneath. I dont like the look of the rope gasket, would much rather something solid and metallic, will have to think about that one... |

Oops! Where did I get the idea that Ireland was in the UK? Learned a little geography today.
