no pic but i was thinking of the issue of ash covering the lower holes. so last night i thought of a "fix". i'm gonna try it out in a day or so and see if it really works. the idea is to get a can about 4" dia and put it around the lower vent inside so the ash won't get to the holes. i don't think this will have any effect on the air flow if its only an inch or so high. this only applies to doing indirect cooking and smoking when the coals are put on one side or on the outside area of the grate.
