Temp setting help needed for a slow cook on a Silver C

[Drew]

For those that have a older Weber Genesis 3 burner what dial settings for you use to get a temperature between 225-250? Doing a slow 5-6 hour smoke on the old Silver C with a smoke box since it’s the only grill I have

My 2000 silver B has the same cookbox and burners as a Silver C. It's been a while but I recall the front burner only on low would run about 275. To get lower I'd have to prop open the lid a little.

My Deep box Genesis runs around 225-250 with front burner on low.

My Deep box Genesis runs around 225-250 with front burner on low.

I think my deep box 1000 runs a little cooler with one burner on low than my silver B did.

Well the shallow box ones run quite a bit hotter with one burner than the deeper box ones. There is simply less room internally for heat to dissipate into

As everyone has stated, front burner. Cause the rear is where the exhaust is. Sobfeont burner and smoke will travel toward the rear.
Rear burner on, have to check temps.

Well I was able to reach 250 degrees with just the front burner set at medium thanks all!

That will vary with ambient conditions (wind and temp)
