Regarding higher temps, until you build up some "gunk", you might try getting a tight lid seal by wrapping a brick in an old sock and putting it on top. Some here have improved the fit by using a LavaLock gasket. I have one on the shelf if I ever need it.
I've found the lighting procedure stickied here is the key to success.
A few recommended accessories if you don't have them yet-
Ash catcher for the charcoal basket (some here just use aluminum foil).
Upgraded hook tool that doubles as a really nice bottle opener.
Turkey hanger if you're planning on a bird for the holidays. Get one now as they have been on backorder in the past.
A dedicated pair of pliers for handling the rebars and charcoal basket.
Get a pair of these tongs. If you ever need to add more charcoal for a long cook, light it in a chimney and add the briquets using the tongs after they've ashed over.
Look for some charcoal sales coming up on the 4th. You can get a heads up in the Deals section here.
I got the ash pan and turkey hanger. Holiday birds were one of the reasons I choose the PBC. And I actually have those tongs, I use in the Pizza oven. I didn’t see the upgraded hook tool here in Canada, maybe I’ll make one as BFlynn suggests.
I had trouble with mine getting the temp I wanted. I probably haven’t mastered the lighting technique. Anyway, I added some 1/2†Lavalock gasket and the temps seem much more stable.
Enjoy, you’re gonna have a lot of fun with that cooker!
I'm not a fan of the Beef and Game rub that PBC sells, either. But their AP rub is great on chicken. For ribs, it's tough to beat Meathead's Memphis Dust rub (recipe on the free side).
fzxdoc I do like the AP rub on chicken too. I’ve been use a recipe called Bone Dust from a local chef named Ted Reader, but have been using for years and need a change. I’ll check Memphis Dust out, thanks.
