Nice video, I got one of these 980s last yr and have been VERY DISAPPOINTED with it so far. Can’t seem to get enough SMOKE into my meats 🤦♂️ I may try this mod though 😉👍
Thanks for Watching! Try using full splits
Just had my first stock flapper issue last night in the middle of an overnight Pork Butt. Woke up to >350 degrees and my meat probe at 205. Will be buying this!
Thanks for Watching!
I wasn't overly concerned about my fan flap burning up... then I decide that for the price, it couldn't hurt (and it was probably a good idea for the longevity of my Gravity 980). I wish that there was some wire cover for the extended distance to the fan's new position.
Thanks for watching Peter! Heat shrink would help
FYI... you can also use dielectric grease inside that plug to keep moisture out and then use the heat shrink over the plug . Excellent mod tom
Thanks for Watching Mike! Appreciate the tip! Thank you!
Hey Tom. I am on my second flap. I actually emailed Luke about three months ago asking him if might be able to come up with something. I am glad to see that he has. I am going to check it out. Great video as always.
Thanks for Watching Darby! I appreciate the feedback
Hey Darby, did you have problems with holding Temps due to flap damage?
Maybe this $2 modification will work just as well as the $100 modification. I took an aluminum pie tin, cut to fit and glued it to the flap. No more distorted rubber.
Thanks for Watching Jeffery, what kind of glue bonds aluminum to synthetic rubber? High temp? Food safe?
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ Loc tite ultragel.
I’m. Surprised the aluminum didn’t heat transfer to the flap and melt it….
Tom, that looks like a great mod to keep the rubber flapper in good condition for many years, thanks for taki g the time to show us that, James Kemper, I just love your channel
Thanks for Watching James! Appreciate the feedback
Wow great Job Tom,, when I first started my 980 I had a problem with the flap BUT I just had to work on it to keep it straight..
Thanks for Watching Tom!
This is great Tom! Thank you so much for looking after us owners of a Char-Griller 980 and sharing this pertinent piece of information my friend! Smoke on!!!🤠👍
Thanks for watching Tony!
Tom, could the flap issue be related to charcoal quality? I use B&B like you (did pick up blue hog). Faster burning charcoal could throw out a lot of heat ????
Thanks for Watching Gerald! Don’t think there’s that much difference, besides it all about combustion and oxygen which the grill controls
Hmmmm... 'staring at my 980 with a pork butt on for 49ers game tonight thinking about the mod for the grills long term longevity.' Another great video Tom! Wanna see a long cook with the mod. Have a great day!
Thanks for Watching!
Hey Tom, I haven't had any issues with my flapper either but this is a nice mod for sure.
Yes it is! Thanks for watching Mike
Excellent mod Tom! The products from LSS Mods look very well made. Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend buddy!
Thanks for Watching Jay! I appreciate you Watching! You also enjoy your Weekend!
How do like the smoker I’m in a toss up with the 980 and the mb 800
Thanks for Watching Joe! Can’t go wrong with either or, I have the MB and the CG and like them both
So this mod comes without the requiredfireblock etc.. wth!!!
What fire block are you referring to Robert?
Nice!! I Can’t wait till the new 2022 model they announce hood comes out soon! Def getting one!
Thanks for Watching! Me too!
Someone posted an email from Char Griller in one of the fb groups and there's no 2022 "upgraded" model planned according to the email
Thanks for Watching Kim! Appreciate the update
One hundred bucks five minutes ago. Ouch.
Thanks for Watching!
Thanks for the great video Tom. I have a question about this mod and a generic problem I have in my 980. I can’t stay on low temps like 220F. Fluctuation is not small. Sometimes it goes up to 350F or even more when I set it at 220F. I don’t have this problem on higher temps while grilling. It feels like when food chunks got flare during low and slow attempts, temp goes crazy. I think my flap curved a little too. If I change my flap and use this mod, do you think I can stay on lower temps? Or what do you suggest?
Thanks for Watching! I believe it would
Use dielectric grease for that plug. Trying to get heat shrink off for a repair, nightmare
Thanks for Watching Nicholas, Thanks For the tip!
I’ve got all his mods for the 1050 and as soon as I get the 980 I will be getting those also’
Thanks for Watching Robert! Luke does a great job!
I have not had a problem with the flap.but I am getting ERF code which is the fan all my connections are good checked them and no debris blocking it I know it is DC voltage and variable speed
Thanks for Watching Anthony! Hope you can figure it out
Excellent video. I do have a question I have put little blocks of wood in the ash tray like you had but they never seem to burn. Do you light these separately when you start up the grill?
Thanks for watching Brian! The hot embers falling down with the ash will cause them to ignite
Now it's 100.00 dollars....
Thanks for Watching Ray!
Great mod Tom 👌👌
Works very well! Thanks for Watching!
The absolutely only problem I’ve had with my 980 is the door switch on the bottom of the hopper sticking and not sensing the door is closed
Thanks for Watching Kelly! Hope you get it figured out
Mine takes forever to cool off really gotta put pretty close to the right amount of lump in there if there’s more then necessary it will just burn forever
Thanks for Watching Sean! You are correct. It does take at least one hour to cool down
I'm convinced Tom. Ordered a 980 yesterday. I've been cooking on a Green Mountain for a few years and I can't wait to compare them. Thanks for your help! The duct extension seems like a valuable upgrade. Do you think it's "necessary?" Any issues with ash buildup inside the new cage?
Thanks for Watching! Congrats on the 980! Since I never had any flapper or fan issues, it isn’t necessary for me. Good question on ash buildup inside the cage, haven’t used it enough to tell.
Has anyone tried extending the wiring that goes to the fan in order to be able to fish it into the gutter still?
Thanks for watching Eddie! I have not
Will you try a cook with only wood splits in the hopper? A few have claimed good results on the Facebook page. Would be interesting to see!!!
Thanks for watching Raymond! Remember it is not designed for only wood only in the hopper. I believe it could lead to over heating and damage to the hopper
My husband’s 980 has had issues. His flapper looks good but the fan has melted not only once but twice!!!! 3rd fan ordered and he is looking into this mod. Is there something else we are missing? He is beyond frustrated with this issue. This grill is only a year old!!!
Thanks for watching! Is he cleaning out the ash container before each cook? If not hot embers can fall and make there way into the fan and cause it to melt. Although I would think it would effect the flapper since it would need to go past to get to the fan
Same could be said if he is putting chunks of wood in the ash hopper and it’s not cleaned out. Setting it on the elevated ash brings it closer to the flapper and fan. I’ve always cleaned mine before each new cook and haven’t had a flapper or a fan melting issue
Hey Tom did you sell the 560?
Thanks for Watching! The 560 is gone
Hey Tom.... Are you going to get some Black Barbecue High Heat Resistant Paint ???? mask off that LSS-Mod and paint it so it looks matching like original OEM equipment ????
Thanks for Watching Eric! I didn’t even think of that,,, Good idea!
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ when you do it please supply us with a short video !!!!! so we can see your expertise !!!!! you know cardboard(surrounding areas) painter's masking tape etc etc....lol
It would most likely need to be removed and prepped Eric, it is Stainless Steel
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ Yup.... I'm not worried you have the "resources" to do just that 😊!!!!!(I'm sure it will look great when you finally show Us..... The end result!!!)😊
Gotcha! Thanks Eric! I appreciate the support!
Mod is now $100 and out of stock at the time I write this.
CG is sending me a new fan & flapper once they are back in stock. My flapper is warped and does not protect against unwanted air flow. In needs to be replaced as the grill just gets hotter and hotter with unlimited air intake. I want to add the mod.
Thanks for Watching Mike!
@tom horsman Sorry but I don't understand the purpose of this mod. Please explain to us newbies. Thanks
Thanks for watching! Some have stated that the rubber flapper or fan has melted from high heat, embers or hot ash. This meant to protect the rubber flapper and fan. I have not had this issue
Do you know if the Chargriller cover will still fit over this mod?
Thanks for watching! Good question.. I don’t have the cover, so I don’t know. You could ask on LSS mods website if it does though
If you find out The Bridge Jackson let us know, thank you! TOM AWSOME VIDEOS!!!
@@kENDALLBOI19 Will do, I ordered one and I also have a cover.
Thanks for watching !
@@kENDALLBOI19 the chargriller cover will fit over the extended fan mod.
My whole flap is completely warped and shrunken. 😠 😡 😤
Thanks for watching Robert! Sorry to hear that
