Baby back Disaster!!!
Forget the dry run, we want Qview! Try starting with less lit coals, you will be surprised at how hot they burn! Try that minion method again this time light up about five or six coals. It will work fine I bet.- billbo

Stabilizing target temps
You are probably going up in temp from opening the unit and increasing the air flow. You have to do it to load it up. No big deal there. Put the meat on and it soon should settle in temp wise.
