Loving this thing. So easy to dial in 240-270d.
Here is what I have been doing.
1) Place 1-3 wood chunks on the charcoal grate towards the side, but not quite touching the ring.
2) Dump coals in to almost fill the OEM ring.
3) Push coals aside in the center to make a little v-shaped hole down to the grate (MINION METHOD).
4) Dump a half full chimney of burning briquettes in the middle.
5) Add center and top with ALL VENTS OPEN and probe on top grate (and middle if using both grates).
6) Wait until temp reaches 200d.
7) Close back 2 vents on bottom 3/4 of the way, leaving vent at bottom opposite vent on top open all the way.
8) Wait until temp reaches 250d.
9) Fully close back 2 vents on bottom.
10) Re-open back 2 vents on bottom a crack if temp drops below 225d.
So far this has worked every time - 5 cooks now.
Thoughts?
