you could always sand it down and rub it well with some cooking oil, shouldn't rust much more after that.

Found this thread accidently. Great to see there are others that have discovered this sweet grill/smoker. I've peeked at all the mods and hats off to all for their ideas. I've had my CG Smoking Pro w/sfb since 2005 so have either tried or done many of the mods I've seen here. Theres more than one way to skin a cat. But I've also done many more mods to my unit.
1. Insulated lid mod.
2. MC (Main Chamber) lid hinge mod.
3. Heavy Duty Frame and Wheel mod.
4. Side Burner shelf mod.
5. SFB cooking shelf mod.
6. Tire valve temperture probe mod.
7. Lid gasket mod.
8. SFB charcoal grate Mod. (Raise shelf.
9. AfterBurner propane conversion mod.
10. EZQue Basket rotossiere mod.
12. Both home made charcoal basket mod & Store bought Charcoal basket mod.
I archived with photos most of what I did. If anyone is interested I'm sure I can find them with a little digging and would be happy to pass on what I've learned in the mod department. After all that's how we learn! :icon_smile:

IMHO you do not need a water pan in the CharGriller IMHO, I find it does nothing and you end up using more fuel heating the water. Keep it in as a drip pan for the meat juices, it'll make cleanup easier.... H2O pan is from dollar store...

Looks great. I am looking for some simple ways to do some mods since I am not a welder or anything. I like the cake pan idea. I was also going to buy a piece of aluminum sheet to make a baffle.I am sure I could manage to cut that!. I also wanted to ask you how did you attach the dryer vent to the grill lid?

I used a pair of channel lock pliers and an appropriate amount of profanity to bend the flange down far enough to fit the dryer hose over it. Then I used some tie wire to make good and sure it was adequately secured to the stack. It's worked just fine so far.Hey guys,
I picked up a 3'' drier hose but my stack on the char-griller under the lid is flared. I can't get the hose on. How are guys getting the 3'' hose on assuming everyone else's is flared as well?
