what did I do wrong today? First time that this has happened. Cooked some beef ribs and a ham and could not keep my temps set. Used the water pan with hot water added at start up.After awhile I set it at 250 for a slow cook ,I set it on the up stroke and while my temp gauge said I was there after awhile, at the 250(tested temp gauge and even used another one,it was off by only about 5 degrees) the fire kept trying to die out. I had the top vent open but when I started to open just one bottom vent, it would shoot to 280 + and never come down. No matter what I tried (one vent- two -or three,at any setting and any variance) it would shoot up unless I closed all of the vents ,than it would hold at 250 and eventually still try to die out. Puzzled? Confused? Lost? Hopeless?
Thanks for any help,
Pete
