Well, they were on sale. And I have this week off. Let's do this!
So tomorrow (Wednesday), I'm going to do another practice run or two with the kettle. It has been very surprising to me just how few burning coals are needed for low temps. Also surprising, just how little I need the vents open. 1/2 on both gives me a consistent 270-275. Again, shooting for 225-250, of course. (Will use SNS with reservoir filled.)
Is three hours still the nominal time to try the bend test? What if my temps run hotting, 275-300? Should I check earlier?
