Looking for tips or advice, New smoker from Alabama

[tatorhead]

I bought a Oklahoma Joe highland. It is a ok smoker but had a ton of issues straight out of the box. I've had do a lot of modifications because it had so many leaks and temp problems. Is there anything else I can do to this smoker to make it better??

Thanks! That link covers all the issues with Ok Joe. This is the 1st smoker I've ever bought, I've been working on it off and on for about 2 weeks after my 1st smoke. Which was the worst!! I thought I was going crazy... just trying to cook some chicken. Started mods the next and my wife says why can't you buy a smoker and cook why do you have to constantly work on it. She just didn't understand!! Smoking food is Art!!!! So Thanks I see I'm not the only one frustrated
