Well it was to freakin windy today so i didnt get to mess with it. Im going to tip the left transfer plate back to a good tilt and drill 2 to 3 2" holes in it. Then im going to get chunk charcoal and add some wood in the mix. I'm gonna try easy mods first then get more technical if i have to. I am also open to suggestions.

Ok, im getting plans made now so this spring i can get to work on the offset. Im looking for a very high temp gasket that will withstand direct heat and flame for the firebox. Any suggestions would be great.
OH boy, well there is a site that all the BIG RIG makers go to for this kinda of stuff... lemme see if I can remember where and what...

Im seriously considering making my own fire box. According to Feldons bbq pit calculator, my firebox is to small.

This might also be a good example of your fire pit size and maybe even shape in a reverse flow

hmmmm kinda a good Q but I'd say the high side would be the safe side... then again, I've seen a lot of guys use whats easy to get on their fireboxes and they never said it was a mistake.
