Here's the mods you should start with then tweak it as you go. I lowered my firebox instead of closing it off and added another exhaust stack at grate level. Once it's warmed up it stays about the same temp on both sides of the smoker.
I will say some people like hot and cooler spots on the smoker to shift different cuts of meat around. |
Rajun, have you ever fiddled around with any of the reverse flow mods for offset smokers? That's always seemed like a logical idea to me. Am curious to know if you have any experience...
