Cooker Test Results are in!

[Slamdunkpro]

Thanks to all who helped out with my tuning plate questions. Here are the results:

I started with me Pitts & Spitts 24 x 48 with upright box. I made 6 tuning plates out of 22 x 8 x ¼ inch steel. I had to weld some wings on the one that covered the heat deflector out of the fire box, and weld a 2 inch vertical on the plate next to the upright..

Here is the instillation of the plates:


All set up and ready to test with 4 temperature probes.


The results:


The pit is a little warmer on the left end but I can live with that considering the rest of the temps. Hooray! I can finally use my upright box. Test cook coming this weekend if the weather is good.

My next project is to make a new sliding upper rack, then if I get real ambitious in the spring, a larger upright box with sliding racks.
