I CAN NOT for the life of me get the temps above 180....
I have the Smokey Joe Silver, a IMUSA 32qt pot, drilled a tons of holes in the bottom....Put a good load of charcoal in there with about 20 fully lit briquets on top for a minion style.
I have both vents wide open top and bottom. I took my 12" teracotter saucer out as my heat diffuser and just put in a 8" aluminum pie tin. Granted it's a windy day here. I moved the smoker to the edge of my garage (yes I know about Carbon Monoxide...yes my garage door is open and I'm sitting outside enjoying beer) to get it out of the wind...Holding 178 via my Maverick ET-732. I don't freaking understand what I'm missing and am incredibly frustrated at the moment.
Any ideas????
