I also added stacks to mine, and the digital controllers.
Got any pics you can throw up of the stacks? I've been wanting to plug the vent holes in mine. Stacks would be sweet.

when I bought my CS-570 wanted the hopper extender but the dealer didn't have any, ordered one but wouldn't come for a couple weeks, needed one for the cook that night, 3 pork butts, when I got it home got some scrap lumber I had sitting around and made my own, it worked.








might not be the best option, but didn't run out of pellets, could hold a full 20lb bag.

How big of a generator do you need to run one of these at a contest, or maybe a better question is what type of wattage is required to run these cookers?
