IowaGirl Mosca Henrik - ran my experiment last night and reached two conclusions. One, we were right about fire size.
The other conclusion I reached, though, is that there's some kind of issue with the way I've installed my fan that results in airflow even when it's off. When I removed the fan and shut the dampers, temperatures dropped precipitously almost immediately in the way you'd expect after a cook, rather than extended hours of higher temperatures. I'd welcome any advice on how I might fix this. I purchased the fan that FireBoard offers, which has a rectangular port that slides into the lower vent, along with a rubber gasket. I also bought an adapter to ensure a fit with my kamado's vent size. The installation instructions were weak and didn't really address how to integrate with the adapter, so I'm guessing that I've made a mistake on the installation of some kind.
