I have to give my input here as well.

I actually use a charcoal basket myself. It was custom made from a great guy. He can make anything you want or need. http://www.yokeup.net/BBQ.html

Great idea for an offset

[Ahumadora]

Looks perfect to me. Good airflow under the fire. I have built and used 1 or 2 of these.

Thanks for these two ideas! (Sorry for just now responding. I was cooking and playing with my 3 year old).

My wood could be too dry. I’ve been hoarding it for a while. I do have a moisture meter, so just for kicks, I’ll measure the moisture content next time. MAYBE that’s my issue too. THANKS!

The bigger payoff...

Tried to like Dewesq55 's comment. It didn't work. I like the extra space, too. For long cooks, you are going to get a lot of ash. That space will also allow you to put an ash catcher (industrial cookie sheet) underneath for easy clean-up without restricting air flow.

I hear ant smoke imparts an excellent flavor to the meat !!

Steve B I got the basic idea from a guy on YouTube who built a rounded V-shaped log basket for his offset for this very purpose. I thought the concept was sound and thought I could probably accomplish the same result without having to build a whole new contraption. So far it has worked great.
