I have a Brinkman offset which is very similar to your Horizon. Bought 1/8" thick steel plate scrap from Lowe's and cut them to fit the bottom grate of the smoking chamber, as well as one in a Trapezoid shape messured to rest on an angle against the hole leading to the firebox. This brings the heat neaerer to the center of the smoking chamber. I have on ~15f drgree difference from one end to the other of the smoker. This enables me to cook multiple slabs/butts/briskets without worrying TOO much about hot spots and how they affect the smoking. (I can not not worry =])
Oh, after cutting the steel, I painted all sides with a couple coats of Rustoleum's interior/exterioir grill paint, good to 500 degrees.
Hope this helps. Feel free to DM me (if that's possible) if you have questions. I can take pics of what I have done when I get home.
Happy smokin'!
