so I have a Brinkmann TLE that I bought off of craigslist. it's in good condition a few rust spots on the firebox. I have done 3 cooks on it and the food is turning out great. My problem is getting the grill up to temp. I've built a charcoal basket, added a baffle, the only thing that I haven't done is get tuning parts but the are in order. Today I'm cooking ribs I used about a 3/4 a basket of charcoal and I haven't put any wood on yet. The temp is sitting at 225 on the stock thermometer and 200 at the grate. I would like to cook between 225 and 275. When I add wood I get up to temp but I end up using a lot of fuel. if anybody can help I would greatly appreciated
