SMOKEY'S NEW TEXAS TOY !

Smokey, I'm extremely jealous! Treat her well!

Do you loose much smoke or heat from the grill above the firebox being open? I love the idea!

Good question Grillslinger and great point. Logic would seem to say that you would.

Smokey, kind of an odd request here...
can you take some photos of the top of the firebox? I want to see how it all goes together.

That metal plate looks like a pretty good idea to protect the paint. Is the plate standard on all their smokers or did you special order it?
