    Got my new Dyna Glow 1176

    When I tried lump I had an issue with getting the heat up high enough.  With mine, using Kingsford with no water in the pan, just the previous grease, I can leave it wide open and run around 250-270 constant with adding lit charcoal to it.  If I am doing a long cook I will just empty the ash pan...

    Now I am totally jealous!  Then again I think I am just going to go custom instead.  My firebox is rusting already due to the heat, but the smoke box only runs around 240-270.

    All the mods are pretty easy to do.   Gary, thanks!!  It was the wife's choice of color, or else it would have been zombie green and black.

    Questions

    How do you know if you are getting too much creosote, how do you control it the amount you are getting?

    Wife and I went and got 4 bundles yesterday.  Should be good for a while! On a side note, I got sick of the cooking off paint, and some of the drips I was getting coming from areas in the door.  Mainly around the name plate and thermometer.  I also want to get the "baking sheet" baffle done up...

    I have been having a hard time getting mine up to temp with the chunk charcoal.  The lump will only get up to about 195-200.  Not sure why but that is about all I am getting.  The Kingsford would have no problems getting up in temp even with a water pan.  I have had to, with the chunk, add wood...

    Are you just using a cooking sheet as a heat deflector in the smoke chamber?   I know I am going to have to build me a new fire basket, or I sure would like to so it will actually fill the fire chamber better.
