I think you are chocking the air flow by not having the top vent open enough, I have done a lot of low and slow on my 22 kettle and usually the bottom vent is closed and I control the temperature using the top vent. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the instructions, I have put them in my recipe book as Rays Sprouts, will be trying them soon.

Just placed an order for one to go on my kettle for the low and slow cooking, expecting great things from this gismo as it has quite a following on some of the other grilling/smoking forums and should be a big help on my humble burnt offerings.

A very nice person from UPS delivered four pounds of Mortons Tender Quick to our house today - I see bacon in the near future!! Just got to find some side/belly and a Butt or some loin. Really missing the back bacon from back home.
