    Help with Char-Griller Smokin Pro w/SFB

    Awesome, thanks for all the info guys. I fiounfd an old grate lying around that was a bit wider than the original. so it rests about 4 inches higher. Maybe that will help with the air flow if that is the problem. The original grate I think has run it's course. Reading some other posts it is...

    I have 2 different digital probe thermometers that I use plus a a few dial thermometers. I don't rely on the stock thermometer that is built in to the unit. I never reads close to any of the others. For instance right now it read about 100 degrees when the other 2 dials I have are reading...

    Help with Char-Griller Smokin Pro w/SFB

    I usually use 2-3 chimneys to start and then add a chimney every 30 min-1hr depending on the fluctuation. Honestly I am hoping that since it has warmed up in the area that I may get a better temp.
