I have modified an ECB Gourmet - 2 dampers/one vent/raised grate/sealed lid with BGE felt/new thermometer. I add boiling water to pan/light 16 briquettes and add one layer of briquettes to grate and pour lighted briquettes onto that layer. When temp gets to 200 I close both bottom dampers and keep vent on lid open.
Temp gradually rises to 300 + and only way to reduce it is to lift lid (but it rises quickly once lid is replaced).
What should I try next? Less charcoal ? Any and all help appreciated. Thanks. Peter
