What about the idea of adding a side barrel for charcoal or wood chunks and have a tube or something routed to the back side( cut a hole on the back of the traeger). Would having the heat come through the side cook evenly? Or could I add a heat deflector to have the heat spread evenly?
Any thoughts
Thinking on it    Give me time  :D

I am thinking ..vertical rib box - heated with the exhaust stack - uses a harrow disk for a heat diffuser in the near bottom of it...whatcha think Tommy?
Not bad. Something like that would work

Can the traeger handle the heat? I mean the metal is thin and wouldn't it warp in high heat?
