Another pro tip for this thread. Even with the open lid detection off you have to watch it.
The graph is me attempting to start the PBC with just a couple Weber cubes in the box and with the fan set to 300F. I figured it has to light with forced air right? Well you can see where the barrel got over 300, the fan turns off and in the time it took me to manually set the fan (under a minute) I lost full ignition.
After several minutes, opened the lid, re-lit, manual fan still at 100%, waited about 15 minutes or so, lid on and rolling.
Much faster to just use a chimney, don’t try to get too lazy.
I do the cube start all the time in the pk360, but the barrel is a different animal.
