Top is wide open. I was using Frontier lump. Maybe I'll try briquets.

Great idea. Could it be as simple as the small pieces falling thru and chocking it out?

I did check that the vents were visually open on the bottom. Seems to be lined up ok. I did notice upon further inspection that the cruddy old charcoal grate allows the smaller pieces of lump to fall to the bottom of the bowl right over the vent slots. I should probably try getting a new grate.

I have an old performer I bought at an auction. I had to replace the bottom bowl because it was to far gone to save. I was able to save the ash sweep and ash catcher off the old bowl. Now every time I close the lid, even with both vents wide open, the coals tend to snuff out. Once I take the lid...

Quick update. I ended up buying a replacement bowl for it. Just stripped the old one of its parts and attached them to the new bowl using new hardware. Works like a dream. So for essentially the price of aN OTG I have, in my opinion, the coolest of the performer "body styles".

I found an '02 blue performer at an auction and paid 50 bucks for it. In my excitement I failed to notice that it's rusted through on the bowl where the grate brackets are welded to the inside. I'm wondering if a little JB weld and some high heat automotive paint will fix her up or if I should...

After watching several Youtube vids on the WSM I discovered opposing opinions on having the water pan filled or empy and covered with foil. I even heard of people filling it with sand and covering over that with foil. I understand the concept of thermal mass, but wonder if empty vs full...

Just wondering how long you all have been able to stretch out a full load of charcoal using an ATC. I have an Auber Instruments for my BGE and plan on doing my first brisket on my 22 this weekend. Can I pack it to the gills with briquettes, set it at 250, and let it chug along to cook a 9 1/2...

I just finished assembling my 22 and am already dreaming about what to do first. I'm really thinking a brisket so I can get a feel for the way she handles a long, low cook. Would you recommend running my controller for the first cook or manually so I get a feel.for her. Any advice would be...

I've been kicking around the idea of entering a few of the small local bbq competitions and need something with more space than my large egg can offer. Also, I started doing bbq on my kettle, so it has a special place in my heart. I just wonder if a digital controller would extend how long the...

Thanks a bunch for all the replies. It's settled. 22 it is.

Greetings to everyone. I'm new to the forum. Just wanted to start out by saying my first-ever grill was a 22.5 One-Touch Gold which now lives with my brother in Potter County PA. I now have a Genesis and a Big Green Egg. I'm ready to pull the trigger on a Smokey Mountain and am leaning toward...
