I think it's a Classic II (with a felt gasket?) Just looking for guidance or reassurance on assembly. Also question: if I smoke a turkey in here, could/would I put a drip pan on top of that stone?

  1. No air lift and no front latch, so you have a classic 1. Definitely use a drip pan for smoking a turkey!

    Get rid of that ash catcher and just get a kick ash basket works 100% better that original you will have to eventually disassemble the entire thing to clean it

    I have same mode. You’re going to love it. Dont worry about the felt if it’s not leaking smoke.

    Definitely get a charcoal basket so that maintenance becomes much easier.

    Step 1 assemble the joe.
    Step 2 dump a big ole pile of coal
    Step 3 ignite coal, open all vents, closed lid.
    Step 4 let it rip, come back tomorrow.

    Now you have a clean joe to work with.

    There is a metal ring that goes around the top. It’s on the ground with the Divide and Conquer.
