    This is my version of the perfect Char Griller with side fire box

    The expanded steel mesh I bought off of ebay. It is 9 gauge steel and I couldn't find it locally. The angle iron I got from the local hardware store.

    Grill Mark Lump Charcoal ?

    Just curious if anyone is using this and what they thought of it. My local Ace Hardware has it on sale for $6.99 for an 17.6lbs bag. Seemed like a good price, but I don't want to buy a bunch of it if it isn't any good.

    Sorry but I can't say if extending the stack to grate level has helped or not as I did all the mods to the smoker before I ever used it. It seems to be one of the first mods that everyone suggests to do. I can say that this smoker works great. Very easy to control the heat and it is very...

I added charcoal twice in that whole time. I am using the cheap sams choice charcoal from walmart. At 9:30 pm I looked and it was...

    Temps are running great. I did an 11 pound brisket and 2 racks of spare ribs  last Sunday and even with the  wind blowing moderately hard I had no problem maintaining 225 -250 degrees. I am really happy with how it works. Post a picture of yours when you get the longhorn on.

    Yea I will probably have to add some kind of handle to the latch. I was just sitting here thinking of what I could replace the lid handles with that woud be unique. The ones that came with the smoker are really cheap.

    Yep that thought had occurred to me but I thought I would try it. I Had a fire in it for about nine hours yesterday and the plastic handle is still there. But it does get a little soft when it is hot.
