Tommy, I have seen your mods on here and I am wondering if you were to recomend on what changes you did that made the biggest improvement and you would do again seeing the results? Now that I have a spare top lid, I am thinking about taking the original one which had the chipped coating from the factory and doing the mod with the hole on the top like you did and then add the Smoke Daddy from the bottom. Plus the air nozzle fittings for airflow. I like the idea of lowering the heat level for a slower cook, and worst case on the top I have the replacement lid to return to a factory design. I have the side box for the smoke pellets, but plan to try the tommy ring before doing the Smoke Daddy.
