I refurbished an old Classic Stump's gravity fed smoker, so now I'm trying to learn how she works best. Before I buy the adapter for the Guru and call it a day, I want to learn how to run it the old fashion way first. So far it seems to run hot, 300+ even when I shut the ball valve down pretty tight. The exhaust stack doesn't have a damper, so it remains wide open.
Also, it takes a LONG time for it to get into the 200s, like well over an hour. So far I have been starting with 1 full chimney of lit charcoal, and 1 full chimney of unlit charcoal. Does anyone have any tips on getting her to settle into the 225-275 range?
