    Good advice. I have placed an oven thermometer in smoker to compare tenos & both smoker thermo, oven thermo, & grate reader on iq120 all read withing 5° of each other. But i will try less briquettes next time. And i haven't compared boiling water on thermo either. Thanks!

    Assassin smoker help

    I just purchased an assassin charcoal smoker/grill. I'm having trouble maintaining lower smoking temps. If I use the water pan in it I don't get above 185°. When I use the v-pan I can't keep it below 300° with the damper choked all the way down. I've used a combo of RO lump & kingsford in it. I...
