Hows the basket working... I am wanting to make one as well.. getting tired of using soooo much coal!!!
Tanx for the reply Remmy. Did you run your temps high (350F or higher) during the seasoning run?I heavily sprayed the inside with a can of Pam and wiped it good with a clean, dry cloth, then used a cheapo 3" paintbrush and a bowl of vegetable oil and "painted" all inside surfaces of the cooking chamber. After it was good and coated, I lit up a seasoning run of coal.
Nice! BTW, would you consider making an identical baffle plate for a fee?Check out this OK Joe intake damper mod thread:

Good to hear, I ordered mine about 3 weeks or so ago so hopefully I will get mine before too long now.I finally got a shipping notice for my horizon convection plate. Only took 4 weeks. I cant wait to use it on my next big smoke.
I'll find out soon enough..Boy, that plate design sure looks like it would stomp on the airflow from the firebox...
