I have a 18.5 on the way and I have heard that it was a good idea to lift the charcoal ring a bit to allow better air flow. Anyone do this? Is it a good Idea?
Thanks.
Thanks.
I've never heard of that suggestion, and I see no reason to do it.Originally posted by Tom Mccann:

Funny you should ask that question. After my last post here I decided to do a search on the subject and found nada. I swear I read it on the smoke ring forum but couldn't find it there either. Obviously I have created a tempest in a teapot.

I don't quite understand that. On my 18, the charcoal grill rests just below the vents. The ring that holds the coals, is right beside the vents. It appears that the incoming air would be sucked through those side holes in the ring , and feed the coals. Similar to the side holes in the chimney.
