Count me in. I'd love one of these.

Did a couple dozen chicken wings. Teryaki and Sauced.

grats. I'm with Gary S. on the "start cooking" bit. You may find that you don't need those mods to be done at all.

Without pictures it will be hard to tell. Is it possible you are seeing Creosote? What kind of wood did you use?
