Old subject , new to me . I need some help with my smoky joe silver.I just completed my build. At 4:00 this I started my first burn. I placed 25 Kingsford on the fuel grate. I started 10 more pces. in a chimmney. waited till they had some ash on them. The problem is the coals dont get any hotter then 177 F. I do have a 12 ceramic plant saucer as a heat dispercer (sink). Any one have a solution to my problem.Thanks The mini wsm looks pretty intimanating.
