Find out brother and let me know. I'd be interested for sure! I really only want one smoke stack, I may wait for freak to respond before making adjustments.
I have seen those ash vacuums.. I did even think about it for this application... when you smoke do you use chunks?
BbqFreak: thanks for the pics, it sure does help with the visuals!
When using the vpan, do you only place the charcoal under the solid part or run it all the way unto slits side as well?
Now I see why you would run it like a offset and only going with the smoke stack at the end. Man you got it down to the amount of charcoal! Now that's due diligence! I might still use my guru till I get the hang of it... or when when I need to do things and can't hang around.., there's a metal shop near my house so I also ask for the same se of pieces of square tubing to create the snake.. was that 2"x2"? How thick metal?
Thanks again bbqfreak. I really appreciate taking time to answer my questions.
I ordered mine with the insulated fire door and 1.5" ball valve, so no pin wheel for me. I've wondered about the smoke stack being in the middle but I would hate to argue with the success people have had so far with the grill. BBQ freak, u turning some good que with that cooker right? Idk if I wanna make too many adjustments. 13 hour burn time with no guru and consistent temps sounds pretty good. I'll be picking mine up in a few weeks, can't wait. Also I asked Jeff to add a side propane burner for me to light my chimney. Hope it turns out good.
Freak, do u think that using firebrick for the maze instead of the tube steel would make the fire jump?
And should I move the stack to the far right?
And what if I were to smoke a lot of meat at the same time, would I just have to rotate it since the slots are on one side?

I have a 36 and was have been using fire brick and have had in jump 2 times now. I think it could have to due with the stoker coming on and blasting the air in possibly causing an ember to fly over. Have not had it jump just using the vents.
I would doubt the fire would jump using the bricks but have never used them though but have some in my garage still unopened . on the stack I do not want to tell anyone what to do for they might not like it but if I did it over again I would and the owner Jeff about it . and on the meat if the snake gets to the holes and is too hot just put some gloves on and flip the v-pan 180 degrees around .
