    How do you get "thin blue smoke" without being too high on temps?

    Aleforge: I had same issues, purchased a tip top temp from amazon and if I can hold back my natural inclination to fiddle with things it works great. Check it out on YouTube. Also check for air leaks around your cooker. I have some that I am going to plug up with either nomex and/or hi temp...

    1st time at rabbit

    What temp and how long? I can get rabbit quite cheaply here in NYC lately. Wanted to try but didn't want to waste $ if I failed. With a little guidance I just might give it a shot!

    Char griller akorn help

    I bought the tip top temp regulator and it works great! Better than I thought it would, in fact. Your point regarding over shooting temp is a good one. If that happens you can close the kamado's top vent until temp drops. It also helps to build a smaller fire. The initial set up should be...

    Char griller akorn help

    I'm having the opposite problem in my Akorn. I am using frontier lump and it gets too hot. I did notice that after 4 hours it hums along at 230 nice and steady. Am I using too much fuel, too many chunks. My practice is to break up a starter cube into 3 pieces and spread them around into...
