Char Griller Competition Pro Mods- Easy and to the point.
Mod 1: Inserting temperature gauge
Actually the factory gauge doesn’t work very well.
It would be better if the gauge has to be fixed at the lid level where the items are being set for smoking.
You will get a better result and you can control the temperature…

Steps to follow:
- Measure in from the edge five and a quarter inches and two inches up.
- Drill two holes at the same level on both sides.
- Start drill with a little tiny drill bit then up to 3/8 inches so that you can get a nice hole.
- Insert the temperature gauge into the hole and tighten up with a bolt and wrench.

FAQs
# What gasket do you use around the fire box and cook chamber?
Usually, I use lava rock gasket sealant it’s the 8th inch by 5/8 by 8 feet self-stick.
This is not compulsory, you can use any good quality gasket for your cooking chamber and fire box..
# How do you clean your Char Griller Competition Pro Grates?
Use soap and water to clean your Char Griller Competition Pro Grates.
I don’t think so for the grate you will need an expensive cleaner to remove chemicals which come from the factory..
But you have to do it before you season it..
# Is the Char Griller Competition Pro equipped with a grease hole?
The inside must be cleaned manually every 1-2 cooks because there is no grease hole.
