    5kg Bag Charcoal Briquettes £2 at Wilkinsons

    Hopefully this is allowed. Been experimenting with trying to get my new bullet smoke up to temperature. Bought some briquettes from The Range last week - 5kg for £3.99 but called to Wilkinsons today and found their own brand stuff for £2 for 5kg. So thought I would mention it in here in case...

    How much water in the waterpan?

    I've been having similar problems with my bullet smoker. Done some trial and error getting a decent temp but can only get it to 120C. I fill the fire bowl as full as I can (took 3-3.5kg), then take some out and put it in the chimney starter and light it. Once ready, I put that on my unlit...

    I've taken the water bowl out and within 5 minutes it's gone from 70C to 100C and it's still rising so it's definitely the water bowl that's stopping the temperature. This is a photo of the water bowl which is identical to the fire bowl

    Newbie requiring a bit of advice

    The pan is solid metal with no holes or slots in it. I've had a go today with about 3.5kg of charcoal. I filled the fire bowl up with unlit charcoal, the took some out to put in the chimney starter. Once that was ready, I tipped it onto the top of the unlit charcoal. After a while it got to...

    I've given it another go. I only had 1/3 of a bag of charcoal left (about 1.5kg). I lit it in the chimney starter and once ready put it into the fire bowl. I put the water bowl filled with water. I put it all together and left the bottom door open which is where the charcoal is. The temp reached...

    I just opened the vent in the lid and left the body doors closed. That could have been the issue. Will have another trial in an hour. I don't mind burning off a couple of bags of charcoal to get it right cos it's only £4 a bag.

    I've just poured a cup of boiling water and put my therm in and it rapidly rose to just below 100C so it seems fairly accurate
