    Can't maintain heat

    I know it's been a while but I have been messing with my UDS and I've been cooking good 200 degrees . I still cannot get this sucker to go higher ..I raised my mention 4" higher and tried the can in the middle ... Do y'all think maybe I need1" holes instead 3/4 " ? This if frustrating ........

    Can't maintain heat

    I'm using 3- 3/4 " holes and 1- 3/4 " ball valve . I usually put about 3/4 bag of lump coal in basket and I start 20 charcoal briquettes and put in the center of basket .
