You should have seen me splitin' those bricks :grin:Nick Prochilo said:Let us know how it works out. I'll bet it holds the heat better for you now.

I didn't insulate my CG sfb, but I did get a piece of expanded metal and place on top of the cooking grate. I only use the SFB for low and slow smoking anyway. It seems to help a lot. It get the coals up out of the very shallow area and let them "breathe" instead of getting smothered in their own ash.... It is in line with the opening going into the main chamber with the inlet vent below, so the draft carries the heat straight into the main cooking chamber.
That is one of the mods I made and seems to work real well. The other is a piece of aluminum flex vent pipe for the exhaust vent. I put it over the vent, shaped it to follow the lid, and cut it off just above the cooking grate. That keeps the heat in a little better as well, and helps keep it more stable.
Just some input to ponder....
