i would suggest getting those guages on there before putting a plate in there, it can get hot fast.

Try to grind a 100, you'll like it alot better than a 0 for smoke control and heat. There is a picture somewhere on here that shows real good the curve in it. It probably doesn't have to be exact to get a decent fuel curve. I would not go back to a 0 after doing a 100. Good Luck
