Team air gap

Hey Joe, just wanted to kind of explain the 2 inch air gap it has to do with conduction since there is an air gap there there’s no conduction between the two metal surfaces, and also air is a good insulator because the firebox gets hot the air in between gets warm And since it’s trapped between the two pieces of metal, there’s an natural insulation barrier.?

I don't like fighting with the Moberg trying to keep smoke running during a long cook, but boy is the top of that big box good for wrapping beef ribs. (I did a stint at Terry Blacks)

How about a grate on a round bottom firebox, which essentially creates a flat bottom. This is my setup on my Yoder Loaded Wichita. Should I ditch the grate?

I built my own smoker for my frist smoker and my box has a Airgap insulated top that works as a wood warmer. I only have a door for air flow and I wish I had made it bigger to help with cleaning and adding wood the air flow is very Good but it does not go all the way to the bottom and that sucks for about everything else on a fire box. It would be awesome to see a pit master like you slef cook on my home offset

Klose pits says that 1/2” firebox is equal to a fully insulated firebox. Your thoughts?

Great video! How do you know when opening the door more will lead to heat loss vs. increased heat from increased airflow and a bigger fire? Are there certain variables you take into account? (e.g. greenness of wood, size of coal bed, ambient temperature, insulation, etc.)

Thank you for this.

The one aspect that I haven't seen every much discussion is how the heat and smoke leave the firebox. Mad Scientist talked about a scoop on the 1000 gal he gave away last year and the M&M guys have some crazy square exit with vertical slits on it.

My firebox is non-insulated but 1/2” thick plate steel. I can cook in the rain and wind if needed
