Thank you. That was my problem. I kept the lid on and gave it a go and 30 minutes was all I needed. Thanks.

Very likely. I have enough info from my other question about grilling small amounts of food. Grilled a whole fish this evening and it was hit with the wife.

Thanks Kevin. Any suggestions for a grilling a whole fish? I usually make whole, firm fish like butter fish or grouper. Gary: I guess being an engineer makes me want to be all precise and stuff. Hence the obsession with the thermometer and exact temps . I will definitely follow your advise...

Just found them. They are good. Thanks!

First a confession: I'm new to grilling, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Please excuse what may be to some a very basic question. Problem: I have used my new 22" Performer 4 times. I have used all-natural briquettes I purchased at Trader Joe's. I have followed the instructions each time...
