1st Smoke Test

 I have to say that i'm pretty impressed with the way this thing performed.  Friday night I had some of my college fraternity brothers over and we made some progress on this thing while cooking two butts in the process on the green egg.  We sealed the bottom part of the kettle, sanded the inside of the barrel, made a new cut around the top so the lead would seal, added a thermometer, and did the first smoke test.  This thing would hold temp anywhere between 225 to 300 just by closing the dampers on the top and bottom.  It smoked for about 6 hours with the charcoal basket half way filled.  I'll be away this week but plan on doing some more mods and finishing touches the weekend I get back.  Stay tuned for more updates.
