    Burn Time

    I now there are variables, but how long should a load of charcoal last. I haven't tried the minion method yet. Should one load last several hours or will I need to reload for more time? The basket is 8"wideX8"longX7"deep. Iam using Kingsford and oak.

    Maintaining Temp

    Thanks for the advice. I don't rely on the gauge that is on the grill, all it is good for is plugging the hole. I'm using a "Taylor" temp gauge that I assume is correct. I will try the "minion method".

    Maintaining Temp

    I have just started smoking. I tried getting a fire going and tried to maintain the temp. I thought while doing this I would smoke something while doing it.

    I did have my exhaust almost closed. I'll try with it open and see if I can maintain a level temp.

    Loosing Smoke

    The smoke I lose is not heavy. The temps fluctuate quite a bit. It is in no way what could be called stable. It was a little breezy when I was doing this. I'm using mainly charcoal and adding a chunk of wood after it gets going good.

    Loosing Smoke

    I've noticed that when smoking that some smoke, not alot, is coming out around the edge of the lid. Is this a problem that needs fixing or is it common? I can't download a photo, it's the barrel type with sidebox.

    Charcoal Basket

    Thanks, thats what I'll do. One thing should be mentioned, that when working with this material, be careful with edges. When I got through I looked like I'd been in a knife fight and lost. LOL

    Easy way to clean grates

    My dad use to take the grill, after cooling, and laying it in the grass and letting them set over night. They cleaned up pretty good. Don't know if re-seasoning would be needed.

    Beginner Problems

    I have a cooking thermometer, can I just lay the probe on the grill to get an accurate temp. What is a good replacement thermometer. Also I am making a charcoal basket and was wondering if it should be a certain size.
