Ok, modified smokebosx on the way like i said earlier. I dont have a drill press, I do have some carbide tipped drill bits but O Mi God, getting one 3/8 inch hole done on the right side took a LONG time, I thought the box or drill tip would catch fire before I got through it. I have no experience at metal work. I think I melted more metal than drilled through it. Forgot about holes 2,3, and 4. But, found that the heating element was cockeyed and not contacting the left side at all, the right side I dont think it was either. I GENTLY bent them into correct position so that it contacted the bottom of the smoke box, and it seemed to immprove the 2 hr test I did tonight. In any event, at 713 pm a 7.5 rubbed pork butt went in, with 5 oz (too much I know but Im nervous about the insufficient burning) at 200 for 1 hour, now going to 220 until internal temp of 200 reached. Wish me well.
