I dislike the lower door venting and noticed it "backdrafting" a little when the wind blew. I'd like to mod the fire box to adapt to a BBQ Guru or PitmasterIQ setup. I'm thinking a hole into the side with a 1" fitting would work well. I'd need to sleeve it to avoid collapsing the insulated cavity. The forced air from the Guru/PitmasterIQ fan should negate backdraft.
I just added a fan to my gravity fed, I drilled a 1 1/8 hole thru the door and used a 3/4 nipple welded on the inside of the door with a electrical washer and nut on the outside. Screwed the 3/4 ball valve on the nipple and the Guru adapter screws right into it. I will take a pic and post it
