Just recently acquired this smoker and I am very pleased with the results. Looking to get more top down cooking for brisket cooks. I’ve heard people have removed the tuning plates all together, or leaving just one? Has anyone tried a scoop baffle insert? If so, did you remove the existing baffle as well? I’d hate to start grinding out welds. Also, not sure the stack height would support this as it’s a little short. I know the original design intent was bottom up cooking with the plates for even heat left to right while burning clean and efficient with stack fully open. Interested to hear how you are running these pits. Thanks.
