    Can you take pics of both the old burn pot and the new burn pot so I can show the manufacturer please?
    That would certainly help a lot!

    Don just as soon as I shut the stove down for its weekly cleaning next Thursday I'll post the new pot picture sometime today after I locate the boss' camera. I have 1 speed, slow no matter how fast.

    No matter it is NFG at this point as far as I'm concerned. Maybe Rick can run some tests on it for me.

    That's what my burn pot looks like, all of them, after 4 tons give or take.

    Same pattern

    Same design

    Maybe like 4ish. It looks identical to smoker's, except mine in bigger and without the flange.

    Mine has always been a pos, from day one.

    My first burn pot died an early death and was replaced, the air bypasses lead to burn pot ash build up that in turn lead to a reducing air staved charcoal burn and that warped the pot.

    We'll have to ask SmokeyTheBear to post pic's of his original one.

    Also maybe we make yours with a replaceable bottom? If thats all that burning out?? I certainly do expect SS to last far longer, But still have seen burnout in the breckwells.
