I suck at grilling. But I'm getting better. Just bought the kit to convert my Weber kettle to a smoker from SnS. I also bought the Maerick thermometer. I don't have a clue what I'm doing, but I'm looking forward to learning.
Jemezgracie - you just need to open both vents all the way. having either vent, (or both), partially closed will reduce air flow and make the Kettle run cooler. The good news is that you have learned how to do low and slow now.
Jemezgracie - yes, charcoal will burn faster, but the cook will somewhere around an hour, so you can close the vents when you pull the chix off and save the remaining coals.

Wow! Two from NM in the same night providing intros! How cool! Welcome from your neighbor just a bit south. Can’t wait to get up to the east fork for some fly rod action!
enjoy the Pit! It’s a great place with great people!
Welcome from Nevada, and you have certainly come to the right place. This is about the best group of folks online anywhere, with tons of knowledge that are willing to share. As Mr. Bones always says, "looking forward to learnin along with, and from ya".
I certainly do say zackly that, on accounta many personal experiences in life, synthesized down to "Everbody brangs sumpthin Good to Th Table", as I was raised up hearin...
