I have the OK Joe (Had the ash pan) and have made the following mods:
Charcoal basket
Heat deflector
Replaced the ash pan with sheet metal tacked in place
I used to have a problem keeping the temp down, now I can't get it above 250
I have tried small amounts of kbb, small amounts of lump, lots of ones or then other, a mix, nothing makes the temp any different.
This is with the stack all the way open, vent on fire box open or shut. I even took the heat deflector completely out and no real difference.
Any ideas?
