I made the mistake of buying the smokey joe gold, not platinum, with the side vents instead of the silver with the bottom vents and as many others have found out, it doesn't work that well. I am wanting to do the bottom air damper mod on the bowl but can't find anywhere in Canada to purchase one. I have even contacted weber and they don't sell the part in Canada. Getting it shipped here from the US isn't much cheaper that buying a silver so that doesn't make much sence. I bought the platinum because of the handle feature but at at this piont it looks like the only way I can fix this it to buy a silver and use the parts of one another to create what I want. Seems a shame to have to do. Is there another mod idea that can be done to fix this poor air flow problem.
