I am going to add a few more Pic from when I Got Starte Finally this Morning! Now that I am Caught Up! The only Problem so far if You Don't Count Starting Out with a Dirty Weber, the Grill Temp is running a bit High? I hate to Choke the DigiQ Much More I may Close the Top Vent a Little More! I plan to Sweep the Ashes Down at 4:00 PM. Dan

2:00 PM, 18 Jan 2016, Closed the Top Vent a Bit More, Temp Dropping! Now reading 264* F both Probes on The Grill!.

Dan since the pit temps spiked on you it's probably best to give this a try again tomorrow. The high temps are going to cause the overall burn time to be short. For today just find that sweet spot that gives you 225 F

[Danjohnston949]

David Parrish, That might Be for the Best! I think I Am getting closer to the Sweet Spot Now! Didn't tell you I ordered a SmokeEze from Firecraft Today? By Tommorrow I might figure out these Damned Pics. I am going to run with this one Just To See? Dan

Dan that's how most of my Sam Adams bottles look to me, bottoms up!

[Danjohnston949]

Huskee, Ain't It Grand! We're going to Get This Little Test Right! Just let it be Said it is Now 5 hrs and the Maverick Probes Read 221* & 223* Respectively! Going to Ride This Horse Until It's Dead! More Later, Dan

8:00 PM CST 18 Jan 16, S 'n S-Weber-DigiQ Cold Wx Test Ended for the Day to be repeated Soon! At 8:00 PM the Pit Temps were becoming erratic and in general Dropping Rapidly! So 9 Hrs. after starting 92 Briquets Kinsford BB in the S 'n S-Weber-DigiQ-2 and Viper Fan had burned out! The Maverick ET 733 was reading 216* F & 198* F on the Pit Grate! Ambient Temp was -2* F at Shutdown! Because I Let the Temp Spike for the first 3 Hrs. I would expect You to Have a Longer Burn at the Correct Temps! We will do it again, Shortl! Eat Well and Prosper!
