not really but I will pay more attention to it next weekend.
Maybe time the auger to check the feed ratio.
But I did have a good amount of smoke the whole time.
2 new temp. gauges and bottle opener for the PB850PS2

what are your plans to even out the heat on the broiler plate?

I've already done that, and my temperatures are the same left and right.

So here is my Adjustable Heat Shield (patent pending) for the PB850PS2
I know it has been a while but I have been testing and I forget to take pics when my grill is open for cleaning, just like I forget to take pics of my finished cooks.
You slide it to the right to block heat from going to the left, slide it to the left to allow heat to go to the left.
I take advantage of the shape and slant of the broiler plate to control the heat.
The more you move it to the left, the more the 'gap' opens between the broiler plate and shield allowing more heat to the left.

With this update, you no longer use a heat diffuser over the firepot?

I never had a heat diffuser over the fire pot, I don't think the 850 came with one, at least mine didn't. Unless mine is missing that part.
I just had uneven heat across the grate and decided to make this to even it out.

See, this is what happens as you get older 
For some reason, in my mind, I thought you had previously tried a heat diffuser like this picture.

So how does moving that pice back and forth keep the heat even? Where did you get that life from?
Do any of them have anything over the fire pot if it did you wouldn’t get the flame to comehtiugh when you slide open the flame broiler grateSee, this is what happens as you get older
