    Hello from Saskatoon, Sk, Canada.

    I bought a 6 burner Weber Genesis this year and I also have 22" Napoleon charcoal grill. I am having trouble getting the temperature below 325 F (maverick wireless 2 probes). I wish I had bought a Weber but I could not pass up the end of season sale price thinking it was virtually a Weber anyway. Big mistake, however, I am a bit of a Macgyver so I ordered some 3/8" high temp oven rope and appropriate high temp glue to seal the lid perfectly. I haven't gotten around to installing it yet but I hope it works - if not, the culprit is the loose air control intake o the bottom. I can think of no way to seal that up better. If anyone has any hints it would be welcome.

    Now to the giant gas grill. I am happier with this than I expected. I have done 3 slow cooks so far and have sat through a stall but let it go just to learn. I can nail the temp to between 225 and 230 all day long. I put enough ribs on for my wife, Joanne and I and 4 guests at 10:00 AM yesterday and brought them off at 205 degrees at 4:30. I followed Meatheads instructions and salted them the night before and the added MMD about an hour before the cook. I was going to use a faux cambro to hold them until 6PM but I didn't have enough foil so I put them in the oven at 190F (it is a meile oven and the temp control is accurate). I finished them on the grill when I put the corn and marinated mushrooms on. I cut each half rack in half again and used Cattleboyz Original BBQ sauce on half them. I made sure everyone had some of each and the reviews were awesome. I think Canadians like their ribs wet for the most part but I think we made some converts to rubbed ribs alone last night. My only mistake was finishing them a bit too long and they dried out a bit but the bark and the sauce caramelization was great.

    Once I fix the Napoleon I will post again.

    Hello everyone. This is an awesome site and after reading several strings about the science of grilling and your awesome ideas, I feel I have more to learn than could be learned. I think I will always be a rookie - but I will work hard to get better

                Welcome to fun and learning! Don't know much about your kettle, but if it's close to Weber, you might look at the number of briquettes you light initially. Consider a SnS. You could block some of the bottom with heavy duty foil.

                  Thanks for the suggestion kmhfive. I just finished installing the gasket and will fire it up tomorrow, then I will use your idea with the tin foil on the bottom on the next cook and see what difference each makes. The idea is brilliant and simple. See? I'm smarter already. Thanks again.
