I made a homemade smoker and have tried a couple test runs with it. It doesn't seem to burn all the fuel before the temperature drops off. This has happened each of the 3 test runs.
I'm using a Micro-Damper and a BGE top vent with just the little slots open. Do I need a larger damper? Bigger motor?
Here's a link of what's happening right now

There's plenty of fuel left to burn (Kingsford Charcoal) - currently left while the temp won't hold at 250.
I have PID set to 7, .01, 4
