Load up ring with unlit. Dump 3/4 chimney lit on top. All vents wide open. Gets to 250 then drops to 225. Only way to get temp up is to crack lid, then might hit 300. As soon as i shut ld, drops right back down to 225-230. I am using a charcoal basket and kb. Its done this the last 4 cooks and ive tried different bags of kb. Why can i not get temp up?????? Am i not lighting enough to start? Note i do use a little used coal from last cook Thanks for any advice!!
