The grate kinda looks like a tic-tac-toe w/ approx. 5 inch squares for the coals to fall. This smoker holds the heat like no other I have ever seen. Uses very little wood to keep heat.
Dude thanks for the info. Is it lined on the inside with reflective brick or something? What's on the bottom of the right stack to keep the coals from making the floor pop.

I did a pork roast and put the coals on concrete and it made the concrete pop a few times. Had to raise the coals off the ground.

Now, on the left side how do you clean out the ashes?
