I brought this smoker in early spring , the seems are not lined up properly. I have gaps in the wood box where I can see the flames through them. It has been hard at times to control the temperature because of the defects. I have gaps along the door that are 1/8 to 1/16 of set. Also the smoke stack could fit a little better there is room for improvement. The grates are cheep and small for the grill I would use expanded metal for this improvement. Overall I Have may have just purchase one that was manufactured wrong. I even had too add two lock washer one for the vent so that I could prevent the door from moving freely, with out that I could not adjust it. Can you help me!
