Picked up a cheap Charcoal BBQ from B&Q (similar to Home Depot) £20.00
Drilled a 20mm hole in the bottom and fitted a 1/2 bush to and elbow to take the Qmaster mini.

Picked up a Aliminium Pan from an Asian Store £40.00
Fitted high temeperature rope gasket around the top of the BBQ where the pot sits
Used the some of the existing holes to attach clamps. Top rivet is for the rack support inside.
Drilled 20mm holes in the bottom of the pan to let the heat in.
Used an old BBQ rack to lift terracotta sauce off the bottom.
Fitted gasket around inner part of lid and around adjustable top air vent as it was sloppy.
Used the Charcoal Basket supplied with the BBQ, but it had a plate bolted to the bottom?? Removed this as I am feeding the air in from the bottom.
So started it up with a set temperature of 115'C, it struggled to get up to 75'C in 3/4 hour.
Removed the terracotta sauce and temperature rose to 115'C quite quickly.
So do I make one big hole in the bottom and refit the terracotta sauce, or leave it out? Would like to leave I as it will protect the meat from direct heat.
Must say, once this hit 115'C, it stays with +-1'C which I have not seen on any of my other builds!
