The only thing I would add is, with a one touch, cover the two vent slots not under the fire with Aluminum tape. This will make it easier to maintain lower and more constant temps.

So you put the tape on the inside of the kettle?
Or the outside?
And just so we are on the same page... you are covering the actual one touch system vents? correct? the 2 not under the fire?

It seems like if you have the tape on the outside it might get in the way of the one touch slider. And if its on the inside you might get some sort of melting/chemical/taste issues.

Right now I only smoke on kettles and would be interested in trying this.

Foil tape goes on outside and won't interfere with anything.

John H. how much room above the 2nd grate? looks a bit tight.

Kirk, when the need for more capacity is there can always get a Cajun Bandit kit for larger smokes and still use it as a grill.
