so last week i used the q220 for the first time in a while. things went well and i was happy to be reminded how well it cooked. then last night i cooked up some pork steaks and then some salmon steaks for the wifey. but i noticed something. i had to have the gas cranked up almost to full just to get 300 deg. so i'm looking at the flame and it looks just fine. so i'm just staring into space and then i see the small amount of smoke going sideways out of one side. hmmmm, this can't be good. so i kinda block the other side as there is just a very small breeze going sideways to the grill. sure enough, the temp went right up immediately when i blocked the flow of air. most might have not really felt the breeze but i was lookin for reasons why the temp was low. looks like that small breeze was blowing out the heat. i couldn't move the grill so i just kinda blocked the wind for the remainder of the time. so i'm gonna build a metal blocking sheet for the next time. is there a reason that the gasser doesn't have a vent on top like the char gue ?
