Simple explanation. Everything you did makes good sense and my wife will thank you since I can do this to mine instead of buying a new smoker. Only things I might add is a welders blanket to insulate from the outside and on the shelving to change out the wood. Mine seemed to go pretty quick. I may find some cedar fencing cut to sized and glued together to double the thickness to replace mine. Thanks for sharing.

Got a suggestion when working with silicon sealer. When you tighten you fasteners get them as tight as required the first time, because if you come back later when it is set the sealing surface will separate and you will have an open void in which a leak will occur. If you do have a leak take apart then clean and reassemble with fresh sealant then if you wish can be repainted. Great video.

I have the same smoker, not the best I've used, but it will do with modifications. I covered half of the firebox opening with 1/8" steel plate, welded another 1/8" plate at about 20 degree's to force the heat down into the cooker, placed on top of the angled metal an aluminum bread sheet with holes drilled to allow heat and smoke to escape. Also put an extension for the vent. Placed 2 thermometers, each 4 inches from each side and sealed fire box and smoker. Has even heat, but it took awhile to get this smoker to perform as I wanted. If I had it to do over again, I would invest in a better smoker or make an UDS.Good video and you made some simple improvements to improve the performance of this cheap smoker.

Charles Donohuee the extension to the stack does two things. One. Heat rises and like water will find the path of least resistance. Lowering the stack will force the rising heat to remain inside the chamber longer to find the lower stack to escape. Two, in the same manner as the rising escaping heat, the lowered stack will keep smoke in the chamber longer. All of the sealing of the chamber with the gasket sealer is useless if the heat and smoke makes a direct path from the fire box across the chamber and up and out.

Kyle Fraser I have an unmodifided Char-Griller and dealt with this same problem. It can be frustrating, but once you get the hang of this model's quirks, it's actually not so bad and is quite capable of producing some very fine barbecue. For one thing, don't trust the readings on the stock lid thermometer, it's junk. Only use it as a general indication of when the fire is down a bit; I've recalibrated mine many times and it still reads 50-75 degrees low. The temperature at cook grate level is more important. A cheap solution that works well is to buy a free-standing oven thermometer and place it on the cooking grate near the meat. As for firing the thing, I have found two solutions that work. 1.) Flip the charcoal pan over in the main chamber and use it as a baffle / tuning plate, using the small side firebox cooking grates as supports. Fill your side firebox up to the to lip of the main chamber entrance with unlit lump charcoal (or briquettes, if you prefer), then use the Minion Method to start a long, progressive burn; a half-chimney of lit briquettes on top of this pile works well and provides decent initial heat. On 12-hour smoke with an 11lb turkey last Thanksgiving, it was 6 hours before I even needed to add fuel (other than chunks of smoke wood every 30 minutes for the first several hours, of course). Temperatures stayed between 225 - 250. 2.) You can use what the Weber Bulletin refers to as the "Standard Method." Basically, you start with two full chimneys of briquettes (I imagine lump would work just as well, but I haven't tried it yet). Light both chimneys and let them burn until flames start to lick the briquettes on top and they begin to show just a bit of grey on the edges (about 10-15 minutes). Don't worry if the top briquettes are not all completely ashed-over. Dump both chimneys in the side firebox and spread the coals out with a firepoker (a piece of rebar works well for this), then close the side firebox lid. Add your smoking wood chips or chunks to the coals just after you add your meat. I smoked a batch of chicken thighs this way the other night and it has quickly become my preferred method. I didn't feel like flipping my charcoal pan, so instead, I placed a water pan on top of it at the opposite end of the cook chamber from the firebox, so all the meat was under the smokestack. I also rotated my meat; after 1 hour, the thighs at the front of the group were moved to the back and the next two rows moved up, so they all cooked evenly. Repeat as necessary. As it was only a 3 hr smoke, I left the side firebox damper wide-open and controlled everything with the stack damper (kept it open less than halfway to keep the heat and smoke in). After 2 or so hours, my temps dipped slightly, so I added another half-chimney of lit briquettes to carry it over the hump. I imagine I could probably get a longer burn if I closed the side damper a bit. Temps held a pretty steady 300+ degrees. All things considered, this method yielded the best performance I've ever gotten out of my Char-griller; the chicken turned out perfect! This method also offers a simple solution to the problem of ash-buildup on a long smoke. When you need to empty the ash drawer and your old coals are burning-down towards the end, light two fresh chimneys of coals. Keep your old coal going as long as you can to keep things warm, and when the chimneys are ready, quickly pull out the drawer and dump it in a metal ash bucket and replace it. Add your chimneys of fresh lit coals and your good to go for a few more hours. You shouldn't lose too much heat. In either case, set a timer and only open your cook chamber once per hour and don't peek! Remember: "If you're looking, you're not cooking." Hope this helps!

@gabriel bennett thank you for the reply. I have now added the dryer duct mod to her, and it seems to have helped a lot. I also lined the bottom with aluminum foil and added ceramic rocks on top all across the bottom. This really helps hold the heat. I have a cookie sheet all the way to the right where the side firebox attaches, to act as kind of a baffle, and i fill a tray up on top of that with water to keep my meats moist. I did a rack of ribs using the 2-2-1 method and it came out perfect and on time. (Actually the best ribs I ever had in my life and baby backs are my absolute favorite food in the world.) I am still getting a ton of smoke leakage from the back and sides of the main grill area....I put some aluminum foil in there to try to help but it doesn't really seem to do much. And yeah that thermometer is straight junk! It is probably 50-75 degrees low like you said. I will consider getting an oven thermometer, but I think with one full chimney and a few wood chunks in the fire box, I am smoking around 250 now. I think 2 full chimneys would be an awful lot and it would get too hot! I also think that my chimney starter might be bigger than most, it is a weber brand. .... So I have done ribs, a pork butt, and a few tenderloins. The ribs and the pork butt did come out really good, not sure what I am going to smoke next!
@gabrielbennett5162

Kyle Fraser You're welcome! I actually have two different-sized charcoal chimneys. One is the large Weber chimney, like yours, the other is a slightly smaller Backyard Grill brand chimney from Walmart. I used the smaller one when I added that half-chimney of coals during the final hour. And you're right, starting with two lit chimneys of coals, it does put out a lot of heat; it actually made it work better, IMO. But, if you didn't need or want to run so hot, you could always use reduced charcoal loads, such as starting with just the Weber chimney and using the smaller one to add additional lit coals later. Controlling the amount of lit fuel added is a great way to control the heat. Glad to hear the modifications worked for you. Thats the most important thing with something like this: find a method that works well for YOU and go with it. I may eventually do the stack mod, myself. I also do conventional grilling, though, using just the main cook chamber, so prefer not to modify mine into a dedicated smoker.
@kylefraser4280

I am single and no kids and I have a small portable charcoal grill that is designed for travel/camping and the like. If I am doing chicken quarters/halves, hot dogs, hamburgers, its just for myself and I just use the little guy for that. If you did do the duct mod, It wouldn't effect conventional grilling at all. I highly recommend it. The smoke is forced to build up in there and wont escape until it passes thru your meat instead of just escape immediatly out of the MANY exists that this model unfortunately has. Heat rises, its going from the firebox into the grill then striaght out the top I would say more than 60 or 70 percent without the duct. If you have a newer model like me, it is somewhat tricky to get it to fit. You want a 3" aluminum duct but the newer models are beveled and not flat or flush, so it is hard to get it to fit right to tighten a hose clamp around it but somehow I got it to work after a little bit of fidgeting. I had to shove a small portion INSIDE of the hole so that there was enough to go on the outside to clamp. I usually just throw coals in by hand when it starts to get low....(aka when the thermometer reads 150 lol....which means 200 haha) The stack mod is cheap and easy and proably the one single best mod that you can do to it. I am really tasting the smoky flavor of the different wood chunks that I use. For example my ribs I did a 3:1 ratio of cherry and hickory. It tasted amazing. When i did that pork butt I used like 2 bags of hickory wood because i was loosing so much heat and yeah that was a nightmare, it honestly did not have much of the hickory flavor just a subtle hint (ESP given the amoutn of hickory I used!!) With my ribs, (after the mod) I used 3 chunks of cherry one hunk of hickory and you could totally taste the flavor of the woods. Again, I can not stress enough that you do this mod as It will not affect your conventional grilling. I jsut hose clamped it to the opening and thats it....some people in these videos drill thru the grill and attach it with a screw which is pointless....just get a duct that bends most of them do.

Thought a little more about your meat staying at 175 after 19 hrs and I think you ran into the Stall. Basically, at low-and-slow cooking temps of around 225 or so, after your meat reaches a certain temperature, evaporative cooling prevents it from getting any hotter for awhile. In some cases, the Stall can last more than 6 hrs. Pulling the meat off and wrapping it in aluminum foil, then returning it to the heat (also known as a "Texas Crutch" or "Texas Cheat") is an easy way to defeat it. That's what I did with my turkey last Thanksgiving. You can also prevent the Stall altogether by using higher cook temps around 300 degrees. This page has a lot of good info on the Stall, the science behind it and how to beat it: amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/the_stall.html

Nirvalica in the event you have to move the smoker when it is in use, I put the wss wheels on the Firebox side so when pushing, you won't burn yourself on the box

You even have to "sweeten" high-end grills. It'll make life easier and food better in the long run. Smokin is a labor of love....in every aspect.

G Potter Well we can disagree on what team is better all day. Go watch your last playoff games and SB that still on VHS tapes. The future of the NFC East will run through Philadelphia!

So just curious if you placed the Charcoal and smoker wood on the cast iron grates in the smoker box? You have lava rocks on the fire box grates on the bottom so wasn't sure...thanks.

I only had the lava rock in there for heat retention
