• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Did a little practice run yesterday on the new heat baffle we made for the gravity fed cooker. Started with 2 BB cut in half, comp seasoning on the MM ends and SPG on the bone ends. I thought it turned out pretty good.

This use to be a flat grease deflector that sit in the bottom of the cooker at about a 20 degree angle and all the heat would just go around it straight up on the firebox side. The cooker started out with a 40 to 50 degree heat difference from side to side. We raised the chimney side and tried to leave about a 1/4 fall in the plate. I used pictures of the Horizon Baffle Plate for the hole pattern and started drilling. The next step was adding angle iron to the sides of the plate to help direct the heat across the cooker. After that we started using scrape pieces of angle to even out the heat, we are right at 15 degree difference from side to side now.

I don’t think we did bad for a couple of Alarm installers LOL!
