Only one vent in the base, which is beside or over the charcoal sometimes is not enough. In another german forum I found a solution. Perhaps some of you know, but I didn´t find a threat about it here. In another threat here I read the word "to mcgyver", I like it very much and my wife started laughing as I told her: "I´ll go in the back yard for mcgyvering." Ok, here we go: At first ...

I've been using the top vent for access, but this is not ideal, so I decided to put an eyelet into the top of each stacker. I bought a couple of 1/4" panel mount guitar input sockets from my local guitar shop (cost less than £2) with a couple of extra lock nuts. I cut off the 'connector' bits leaving just the threaded shaft. I filed it flat & cleaned up any potential sharp bits ...

This will give the unit a wider "footprint", thus improving stability.

I bolted the extra lid upside down under the stacked setup and viola! A bullet smoker. Sorta.

Take some foil make a pan or use a foil pan put my wood chips in there. Set this on the clay base. Then take a piece of foil and cover the top of the water pan.Let it sag just a little in the middle.Poke some holes in the foil over the wood chips.So the grease and all that good stuff runs into the chips.It acts like a bigger smoke box except for the grease running in there. The clay base will hold the heat.

So, even after upgrading the size of the hardware that came with the handles to full 1/4 inch diameter, I noticed quite a bit of flex when picking up a stack full of ribs and a full water pan to set it on the coals. I was afraid that the handles would torque so much that it may cause a dent in the side of my cooker. ENTER McGYVER ! ! ! A ...
