I tried cooking 3 racks of baby back ribs this weekend. I can not get this thing to heat up. I ended up throwing away the ribs again. I made ABT's to go along with the ribs and cooked them for 4 hrs till they were done. The ribs dried out before they finished. I can't get the heat over 180. I'm at my witts end. I put 1 chimney of unlit, started another chimney of lit. Empty/foiled water pan. it stalls at 160. I crack open the door, nothing. Crack open the lid, nothing. Take the door all the way off, it climbs 10 - 15 degrees. This isn't rocket science but.... There doesn't seem to be any issues with the thing being out of round, I don't see any leaks. When all vents are open it seems to be chugging away smoking good out the top, but I can't get the heat up. I'm thinking of selling the whole setup.
