Hello, Just wondering if anyone has had the same experiences as myself. After moving up from the 22" to a 26" kettle I have noticed that it is a bit more difficult to attain the temps that I would usually get when using the 22" kettle.
Specifically I have notice that when using kingsford blue and even premium lump like jealous devil I have a hard time hitting the 400+ range. On the other hand when I use Royal Oak lump I can hit temps with ease much like I did with the 22" however I notice on long cooks I have to add more charcoal more often.
I live in the CA valley so its not like Im in a cold climate or anything. Anyone else have these experiences?
Thanks!
