Eric ecowper did a great post awhile back on maintaining certain temperatures when using an SnS in a kettle. I thought it might be a reference for you.

Thank you, I read it and it's pretty much what I did today. I will use it to fine tune when I get my 22.Comment

I had ordered a 22" Black Edition and ran into a couple issues. One is that I was surprised to find out that the Black Edition is the only one of the 22s that has a plated grill... that's right, no 304 stainless grill.
The other is that I apparently ordered the BE from a pretty shady operation. Dunno how cancelling that is gonna go, but in the meantime I went ahead and ordered a 22 Standard one from SnS via Amazon Prime. Also ordered the cast iron drip/grill pan.
Anyway, that will all get resolved eventually, and I have the Home & Roam and my PBCJr to use for now.

Glad you are figuring it out - sounds like quite the adventure! As you’ve now learned, for low and slow a chimney or even half chimney of blazing coals is too much for the kettle with SNS - especially a smaller travel kettle. I start with 10-12 lit briquettes on a 22” with the SNS, and then fill the rest of the SNS with charcoal and top with a few wood chunks. I’ve got it down to 10+ hours per load of charcoal with the right briquettes (B&B).Comment

If it was a "Set It and Forget It" deal I'd get bored with it. But I do think my best experiences with the Home & Roam will be grilling, not as a smoker.Comment

The only time I use a lit chimney is when I am ready to cook, hot n fast. I nearly always use a starter square placed in the middle of half dzn KBB. Never had a flameout.Comment
