You did not mention it but you should elevate the fire by using a basket for your fuel. And burning Way more fuel than you need to. If you get to much draw you are moving more air making a hotter fire. the external extension with the birdhouse is IMHO Where part of your problem lies.The longer the exhaust the more Draw you create. Extending the stack down to the grate is a good move. Posted: Post subject: Re: Char Griller Vent Temperature Control Help Needed. Save the planet: it's the only one with beer! Once you really understand your cooker's tendencies, you'll get this operating stuff down pat. Eventually you'll need to re-open the intake(s), but your cooker just swallowed a bunch of air, and if you open the intake too soon it's going to burp up a bigger heat spike. Once you have the cooker closed up, give your thermometer time to steady before reacting with the controls. Get everything you'll need at the ready and within reach, then open the cooker, git 'er done, and close it up, pronto. Don't lah-dee-dah around with the lid off or open. The second trick is to know what you're going to do, and get it done quickly. The longer you're going to have the cooker open, the longer you should let the cooker settle down before opening. Once you see the temp start dropping, that's when you open the cooker and do your turning/flipping/saucing/whatever.

One trick to cut down the spike is to anticipate the opening by enough time to close the air intakes and have the cooker react. When you take the lid off a UDS the coal bed is inevitably going to heat up from all the fresh air reaching it, and when you put the lid back on it'll take a while to settle. Ive got a cg myself and have been having the same problems for about a year and a half, i thought going to lump with wood mixed in would help, it did untill i had to opend it up to sauce the meat the first time and it wouldnt hold temp steady again.im pretty sure its gonna be forsale in a little while when i can get a uds put togetherĪ UDS isn't a panacea for all ills - including operator error. It takes some practice but the outcome if well worth the effort. If you getting white smoke open the damper. Just keep an eye on the exhaust you want the smoke thin and blue. Keep the vent closed about 3/4's of the way. I will get a small bed of coals and add 2 to 3 preheated splits at a time.Īlso when I add the splits I keep the firebox door open till it's burning well, I have also encountered the same issue with my Duo. The CG takes practice to get the hang of it. When they get up to about 215,close the intake down to almost completely closed and watch the temps, it should continue to rise a little, if they start to drop,open the intake a little.

Leave the intake full open and watch your temps. Fire up about 1/2 to 3/4 chimney of charcoal and when it's ready,dump it into the open corner. If you have a basket,fill it almost full of charcoal with a few wood chunks leaveing an open place in the bottom left corner. Do you have a charcoal basket? I believe most CG owners,myself included,burn a mix of charcoal and chunk. Thought it might be handy to know that I'm cooking with wood only. I'm constantly opening and closing the side vent to varying degrees trying to get a steady burn and steady 225d, but I've not yet been very successful.Īny tips to help me maintain my sanity on this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Let her simmer down on the fuel, too cold. It seems that I'm all over the place on temps.

So I like to know how to control my temps in the smoker. This means I have no top vent control and I wonder if this is hurting my efforts. I also placed a rain cap on the top of the vent.

To let you know, one of the mods I did was to extend the smoke stack down to grate level and also extend the smoke stack up about 3 feet with hard pipe. I've done a few mods to the fire grate, smoke stack and added some tuning plates, but now I have a question about the vents and temperature control. I recently purchased a char griller pro with the side fire box. Posted: Post subject: Char Griller Vent Temperature Control Help Needed.
