Keith,

You don't need photoshop to comment on pics. Use Powerpoint which is usually loaded with your office suite. Insert pics into a powerpoint slide then insert a text box and explain away. If no Powerpoint then use Word and do the same thing.

I went to a metal shop and purchased 3 identical plates 3/16" thick. I have a OKL Joe Longhorn offset and I measured the length of my charcoal grid and just laid each sheet butt up against each other on top of the charcoal grid under the cooking grate. The 3/16" thick sheets can be taken out and depending on how much meat I am smoking I can use all three or just one. Heat plates keep a steady heat without impacting the smoke. My next mod will be to make my unit a reverse flow.

I will post pics
