Using a drip pan? I'm thinking fat is dripping down on the coals.
NO minion method. I have the summit so all charcoal is lit in the round base. I keep vents on smoke setting
Thank you very muchI guess I'll have to find instructions on that grill. I'm sure there are people more qualified to talk about it than I am (that actually have the grill). My suggestion would be to use minion method on it. Basically, add unlit charcoal in the bottom and then add maybe 12 lit coals. The unlit charcoal will slowly light during the cook and will give long burn times at a low temperature. There's a guy on youtube with a channel called baby back maniac who has done some nice videos using that cooker. I think he may just put the unlit charcoal in and light it using a weber starter cube.
Yea, me three. Where are the flames coming from ? Did you add chunk wood for smoking ? If so and they are flaming then you have way to much oxygen.
