Do you mainly cook in the vertical side because of the ease of keeping it at 250? Or is there another reason you don't prefer the main chamber? I've never even shopped for a stickburner with the vertical chamber because I thought it was more than I needed, and would force me to use twice the fuel to keep the monstrosity heated when all I need is the main chamber. Should I think of the vertical chamber more positively? Thank you for your post, it was very helpful!
I guess it's because my "fire management" skills aren't up to the task of keeping a 16" offset stable in the temperature department. The heat plate helps a bit, but there are still swings in temperature. By the time the heat gets all the way to the vertical part, though, the variations are evened out. Easier to keep the vertical temperature stable I guess.
