I think I'll do one 3/4" ball valve first and add a second if needed later on. I feel I'll be able to get away from the can as I'm sure once it's settled in I won't need anything other than the ball valve to keep it steady. If it doesn't hold well I'll add a second.

I'd do one 3/4" ball valve and use the tin can with holes puched up high for the existing intake. Temp comes up, feather the intake and just run off the ball valve. IF you need higher temps - for crisping up chicken you can open the bottom up some. The can should still allow it to breathe.

Good luck- threads like this make me "want to build something"

I always get suckered in on projects. Love them. I will do a 55 gallon build when we move next summer as I feel we will be hosting people far more often being a few miles from my wife's family.

Now the wait for the pot begins. And I need to come up with a solution for probe wires.

Pot will be here Friday. Looks like I'll be busy this weekend. What to do for a first cook. Maybe a fatty?

I've been Q'ing for a long time and it's probably the only thing I've yet to do. Gives me an excuse. I'll start googling ideas for recipes. Otherwise a pork shoulder is always great.

Those look nice. I'm starting to give serious thought on just nothing the top of the pot. Will have to see. Beauty of being a stainless pot I can just decide when I make up my mind. My UDS I would have to wait when I built it to make my decision due to painting it all before assembly. Maybe not needed but was my preferred method.

I really like those. I will have to put them into my UDS build. Wonder if they would also work on my offset?

Pot came today. Will build this weekend.
