Temp increases getting in to the wider part of a SNS
I'm getting temp increases thru a cook as time goes along. I lit a about 15 weber briqs to start and put them in one corner and loaded the rest of the SNS with unlit charcoal. I'm finding I have to reduce air as I get in to wider section of the SNS where there is more fuel. Is this the way its suppose to be? It makes sense.Tags: None

I use water, which might help a bit. I wouldn’t necessarily use less briquettes. 12 briquettes works for kbb, but I’ve switched to B&B (which I think is similar to Weber but I’ve never used Weber briquettes) and 16 lit works well for me. I actually suggest not worrying about the temp slowly rising. I like to start around 200 and let it slowly rise to 275 or so over the duration of the cook. I feel this helps get more smoke into the meat by starting at a lower temp. It also helps to power through the stall and results in much shorter cook times than staying at 225.

Odd? I think as th SNS widens, more lit coals would=more British Thermal Units, Predictably...
Unless yer cookin somethin Super-Delicate, I fail to see th need to even monitor this event...
Light th properly built fire... allow it to reach fruition, set vents accordingly, an roll on...
Enjoy yer Supper, Minus th Thermo Stress

How long into the cook? What temp are you trying to hold?
Are you giving the charcoal a poke or two around 3 hours? You know, to knock down the ash?
Awe. Never mind. I see you are up in the Great White North.The air up there is more flammable I hear.

So I can't speak for big_mack but I used to be able to hold 250-275 consistently and that was fine. Last couple of cooks, the temp starts shooting past 300. Last time it got to 315 before I shut down a lot of the bottom vents. I think, though, that my case is air leaking in from around the lid. Time for some lava lock .Last edited by rickgregory; August 22, 2021, 11:01 AM.

I started 14 coals when I roasted my peppers. So they were a little bit along when I threw the Wibs on. I use my original SnS in my SnS grill. That grill is scary. It was almost like I had a temp dial on it. After a couple of little temp swings that I caused do to fiddlin with things, I got it to 274 & it stuck there for around 2 hours. This grill is amazing, I’m lovin it!
PS. I didn’t use water, fergot to, yessir.Last edited by FireMan; August 22, 2021, 12:46 PM.
