Found some matches.
Thought I had my plan all set, now I'm not so sure. In another current thread (didn't want to hijack another Brethren's thread) he was reporting on what he found to be the inefficiency of the drum with a kettle lid versus the flat lid. My plan WAS, and may still be but looking for some feedback from those with the experience to speak knowledgeably on it, to install the aluminum flat stock mod for the lid. Seal that along the bottom edge with high temp RTV. Install rope gasket with RTV around the top to help seal the lid even better and also possibly add a couple of hook latches to hold it down snug. Lastly add some additional exhaust ports to the lid beyond just the daisy wheel. I wanted to go the way of the kettle lid for the extra space up top. The wife's favorite smoked meat is turkey but I'm guessing like many others I don't often smoke just one thing at a time and the added space will allow for additional cuts.
All input and advice on this plan as a whole, and more specifically if it will maintain the efficiency of the drum, would be greatly appreciated.
