    Nah, I don't think so?? I took too long worrying about the chimney until it dawned on me that it really wasn't needed for draft. I may add the felt seal stuff around the lid this summer but I love this setup. Even my beast of a Weber gasser could never get to the temp that the CampChef thing...

    I had the same dilemma. Then I realized the 'chimney' was more for show than being required for draft. The fan does the work and pushes out of the hole there anyway. I just mounted my sear box right to the side. Used one of the handle mounting holes and made a cardboard template for the...
