    Can't get my temp above 200!!!!

    Ok, I took your advise( thank you soooo much for it!!) and the chicken came out a little overcooked (probably because the chicken was too close to the opening and because I did not have a true reading of the temp of the smoker and because I did not take your advise until the last 1 1/2) but the...

    Can't get my temp above 200!!!!

    Ok, so I knocked out the football shaped opening between the fire box and the smoker. I'm trying to smoke some chicken. The temp gauge on the smoker still won't go above 200. I know that gauge is not accurate and is a probably piece of crap. I put about 5 pounds of hickory block charcoal in...

    Can't get my temp above 200!!!!

    Yea, I got that, the grates are cast iron and i've removed them from the firebox. So from what I understand from what all of you are saying is that I don't have enough flow of hot air from the fire box. The opening is too small?

    Can't get my temp above 200!!!!

    So I should just make a hole where the damper is? Or do i cut out the whole area that the firebox attaches to the main grill? Will a chisel and a hammer be enough to cut through the cast iron frame, because it's just bolted on to the griller.

    Can't get my temp above 200!!!!

    Ok, well I have an adjustable lower grate and it was all the way up so I put it down. Also the whole grill including the grates are cast iron. How do I cut that out? Are the pics enough or do you all need more info?
