Chris those look great! Are you still satisfied with your pit design? Sure turning out some good looking grub!
Absolutely. I have got the temp variables down pretty well at this point (how much/how often to load the firebox and at what angles, etc, etc, etc). Having the warmer basically doubles (if not more) the amount of variables to calculate, because you have to have methods for using the warmer as a cooking chamber as a warmer or somewhere in between. Add in the tuning plates, drip/water pan (1 in warmer and two in main) configuration and it takes a fair amount of tweaking (often mid cook). No two offsets are exactly the same without the above because of chamber dimensions, firebox dimensions and position to the channel, exhaust (in this case two) lengths and positioning and channel dimensions. At this point though, I am happy with the design. Occasionally I debate whether I would have wanted a reverse flow, but I actually enjoy the tweaking of plates and ability to intentionally set up cooking zones. If I was out your way, I may have just bought a Lang, but the shipping made that problematic so here I am.
