No offence to those of you who want to inprove your 1400's...however, why mess with a good smoker that doe's a great job with little to no effort. Just learn how to smoke on a great product. I have other 'charcoal' smokers that I like and use quite often...2 Bubba KEGS...PRO CERAMIC.. Weber WSM and a Weber Perfomer. This 1400 is a great smoker, I can "set it and forget it" while I spend my time fishing or whatever!!!!!
For you that are worried about temp fluchuations...try charcoal!!!! You must be there.... without very expensive Automatic Temperature Controls...I know...I own them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
