So after a test run and one spatched bird later, I've made a few tweaks to the mini. Let's see how well they work this time around. Lol.
First, I started by taking about 5" off the total height of my drum. I forgot to take a pic of this part, but I notched all around the bottom of the drum and gave all the tabs a slight tweak inwards. It made the slip fit to the bowl much more user friendly. I will still be doing the latch mod here soon.
Next, was a do-over for my atc mount and intake system. I basically made four, "air sprinklers" and threaded them into the existing air holes.
Here they are mounted. Two have more air flow and two have less. They are placed opposite each other. In theory, the air should blow against each other essentially created a low pressure zone in the middle, diffusing any direct up or down air flow. Hopefully equalling little to no ash blowing around. This design also allows for maximum ash capacity. No can taking up space.
Under the grate.
Here is how I mounted my fan for my atc. Removed the ash catcher. Used the existing legs and a longer bolt to hold the dog bowl in place. This also makes it easy to remove mid cook if th fan ever dies. Then it's back to the factory four inlets.
