    Haven't posted in quite some time.  Made a packer brisket a couple weekends ago. I like to separate the flat from the point to speed up the cooking time. Here are a couple pics

    sounds like not getting enough airflow. What mods have done? Could tuning plates or something else have shifted? Check over all the vents and stack to make sure they are functioning properly and don't have any restrictions. Hmm, maybe others will be of more use.  Good luck

    Hello all I posted my mods in a different TMLE thread, but wanted to contribute to this thread. I've only been able to cook 3 times on it so far due to a hectic schedule, but I couldn't be happier with the BTLE Exhaust baffle made of sheet metal shaped to the curvature of the main chamber.  ...

    If you're having a problem with airflow and want to cook at a higher temps you can even remove the ashtray completely (if you have the charcoal basket). Or you can put a small fan near the vent to increase the air flow.

    Here a couple pics breaking her in for the first cook.  I forgot to take pics when they first came off, but I must say the pork and brisket looked pretty sexy. The sides are cole slaw and a macaroni salad with BACON...yummm. By the time I remembered to take pics I was down to scraps.  The...
