[ale] WOT: Smoker help?

[Dave Brooks]

Hah, I check my email once when im out of town, and this is what I see? =)

I agree.  Air-flow is key in the steamer combination you have.  Try
adjusting the vent on the bottom.  Remember, more charcoal isnt necessarily
going to do you any good.  Hotter coals sitting nearer the water arent going
to help much if theres no air moving through.  If there are none, then
contact the vendor or manufacturer, or try and jerry-rig some holes yourself
(not recommended, though, I would probably try this myself).

And who cares if this way off topic.  Kind of a break from the norm if you
ask me =)  You owe all some meat, Robert.
