- We did a few mods to the Old Country Smoker. The smokestack really improves the draft for this unit, easy to do. The drain bucket mod was easy too. The Thermoworks signal and bellows is a gamechanger! Makes this unit awesome!
I have made a few modifications to mine. Wheels and a 6 inch Tel-Tru temp guage. I like the ash pan recommendation but I'm confused on the smokestack recommendation. I would think the Thermoworks signal bellows would improve heat circulation and temperature regulation without having to add a smoke stack. Did you try removing the heat deflector/grease pan insert from below the bottom rack and see if temperature regulation was improved at all? I am thinking about modifying the diffuser by drilling a few holes to allow the gases to flow upward instead of being directed downward and down along the grease pan insert. Thanks.
Hiya!....if you use the bellows...the stack mod is not needed....the bellows will take care of air flow...I would drill holes on the bottom removable plate...not on the side welded plate...also a full size 4" restaurant pan full of water helps quite a bit on temp regulations....let me know how yours turns out!
ty for watching!
oh...the ash pan is good if you don't want to add mini splits of wood to the ash area....
@@stevenducote7466 I appreciate the feedback sir. Reluctantly I have ordered the billows system from Thermoworks. I was hoping to keep electronics out of it entirely but it would appear that is what is needed by you and others online about temp regulation. I will keep you posted on results and other modifications. I broke it in over Memorial Day with whole chickens and ribs. Turned out well and much better smoke flavor than my Traeger. Just need to figure what this beast wants and needs...
