grupe, I didn't think about doing that, I may have to make myself one for mine. Looks like it will keep the wind off the flame. Did you up-size the regulator? I have been trying to get my temperature down under 150 deg, but haven't had much luck so far. What is the lowest temperature you can get? I wanted to try smoking some cheese and felt that if I go over 100 deg, I will have a cheese melt on my hands. I think I'm going to invest in an amazing smoker and use it with no other heat source.
