What Fuel? How much? Are you using a Basket or just piling the wood/charcoal on a grate? How much Lit fuel are you adding? How open is the Damper and Exhaust? We need more detail...JJ
I am using charchoal, piled on the grate. I started with approx 10 lbs of charcoal and i have tried with the damper and exhaust at various positions to no avail.
Can air flow under the charcoal? As ashes pile up it could block airflow. Have you checked the thermometers for accuracy? Exhaust should always be wide open then adjust air at the intake.
How much of that 10 pounds was lit? You may need to light more coals to start with in order to get the temps up. If all 10 pounds were lit you would have the opposite problem IMHO, and temps would be too high.
