Hello all.. as a new KBQ user I have struggled some with a little toooo much ash in the smoke box, especially if I leave the top port open for heavy smoke flavor. Before my last smoke I covered both open ports with a 40 mesh stainless steel wire screen, which seemed to work well. I placed a 14" by 5" piece of mesh screen along the inside of the firebox end-wall, covering the port openings. I got good smoke and air flow, and far less fly ash in the smoke box..
I am concerned tho that this screen might somehow effect the function and working of the smoker.. Any thoughts or experience with such a screen device??? Any reason why this could cause problems??? Any other ash solutions?? thanks
