Reply to "Drilling more holes in the C.S. Elite wood box"

I admit I once considered it. I'm glad I never tried it.

Foremost is warranty issues. Second is, that once I stopped focusing on the wood and begin studying the smoke flavor results, it really wasn't necessary.

Are you getting all the smoke flavor in the meat that you want/expect?

If that answer is YES, you don't have a problem and can stop fussing over what the wood/ash looks like when your done. Period.

If the answer it NO, I'll still bet that the problem can be solved w/o power tools.

note: don't limit yourself to just the front of the woodbox. Try several smoke test with wood positions. Try placing wood partially over the holes - not blocking hot air flow. I found that the rear holes produced as well as the front positions. Have fun.
