This is by far the best looking baffles I have seen. I hate to copy but it looks like it works very well. I am gonna try and attempt the same thing. The water box/baffle is damn cool.
@munkys112 The exhaust mod is probably equally as efficient as well. When I did that the cook surface became very stable. I would like to improve my metal workmanship though but I wanted to do both the mods without altering the original grill. If I had a spare lid I would cut a couple inches off the end and ad it to the side of the lid making a "false side" to put the chimney draw on the cold end of the cook surface. I also have another video showing seals for the lid.
@whitscot I'm getting ready to order a replacement ash tray for the side fire box. The one I have is still in good shape. I plan to mount a propane burner in it so I can slide it into the side fire box and use propane instead of charcoal. I can just switch ash trays and use charcoal also.
@munkys112 Thanx Munk, copy away. The cardboard mock up made it easy. The size of the reservoir is not too important. I don't fill it all the way because it reduces the temperature in the cook chamber too much.
I like this guy's spirit! This is what YouTube is all about. I use a Smokeshack smoker oven for my pulled pork. Marinade in apple juice and onions then smoke it for 17 hours. Pull it, mix it up with homemade BBQ sauce and I have the best pulled pork sandwich in Silicon Valley! Thanks for a great video!
The baffle with the water-box is awesome! Can you fabricate one similar but with a thicker gauge steel? Same with the tuning plates? I know the engineering, but don't have the equipment ( or friends with the equipment) to do it myself.
@Tempter69 Thank you. It took me all day to make that. To do it again and send it to you would cost alot. Just show the video to a local welder. A pro should be able to put one together in no time. Thanks for viewing.
i have the 50 50 as well, and dont want to add a box but was thinking of just linking via cover to cover, with the lid being able to open and close on either side at anytime.
@mdsd77 You could do that. I would connect them on the bottom half with a damper. You could get the charcoal flavor on the gas side and the gas heat to the charcoal side.
@skeetmoses At about 3:45 in the video shows the mod. You are looking at the lid removed and setting upside down. The hinge hole is to the left. The baffle covers the end of the lid to give it a sort of "false wall" to divert the draft all along the cook surface on the edge farthest from the heat. It works really well. It doesn't need to be sealed to the lid around the side because once the draft starts the smoke follows the path of least resistance.
Any chance of getting the dimensions for your baffle. I like the idea and design, and if you don' t mind sharing, the dimensions would keep me from reinventing the wheel! Thanks for sharing.
@ms0099rg I would just show someone localy. It was easy to make and the idea is simple but I just weld as a hobby and it takes all day to get anything done. It works great but the water has a cooling effect to the heat (because of the 210° mass) so I limit the water to maintain temperature. I do keep water in it, I just don't fill it. Thanks for the comment.

Please watch my video "Country Style Ribs" for a good view of how I seal my cook chamber. Thanks for watching.

Where did you buy the tuning plates and what kind of metal did you use?
carnypimp 11 months ago
@carnypimp That is all explained in the video and text. It is made of diamond plate steel. I made them.

what do you think about a design for that?
