Mine not the same or even close except it used wood and charcoal. But I put a single propane burner in it and a good regulator. Now I can regulate temp well. The damp gives me a jump of 30-40 deg. I set wood in water tray and it burns slow with no major temp jump. Unless I give it oxygen when I open door.

Can cook 5 whole chickens @ 400 f in an hour and a half. At 400 bird seals up and Jucy stays put.

Good luck they all cook diff. And run at diff temps. But a bit of time and slow additions of wood way smaller chunks than in pic and you got it.

I use masquit roots in 1/4 inch chunks and the roots I have are 3-4 inch dia. And 12 years old. I use very little at a time .
