    Why are my temps so low! Char-griller Pro w/ Sidebox

    Cliff I did what you suggested in your PM, I replaced the thermometers with a set that had longer (3in) probes and it works! It got up to temp with just one chimney of coals. I dumped another chimney in and was closing the vents off to try to keep it below 300. I don't care what they say about...

    Why are my temps so low! Char-griller Pro w/ Sidebox

    As far as the amount of charcoal I used when I did my last test run I used 1 chimney's worth of charcoal then immediately started another, dumped it then started another and dumped it. The coal holder was completely full. I do not recall what the temp was initial with one chimney but with two it...

    Why are my temps so low! Char-griller Pro w/ Sidebox

    So I did a test run with no grate (baffle) and with the charcoal up high in the FB pretty right next to the "football:. Same results, temp hovers at 200. When I put some dry woodchips in the charcoal the temp rises to 250 but quickly dissipated once the wood chips expired. I had the vents all...

    Why are my temps so low! Char-griller Pro w/ Sidebox

    So I did a test run with no grate (baffle) and with the charcoal up high in the FB. Same results, temp hovers at 200 and no higher. I had the vents all the way open and even propped the FB door open after a bit to try to increase air intake but no luck. I guess I will try one more time. I will...

    Thanks for the reply. I will try it out with the CC holder not in play to see how it works and the CC basket higher up. I'll post how it goes.

    I used 3" but I had to ask for it because it was not where the dryer vents were.

    Why are my temps so low! Char-griller Pro w/ Sidebox

    Cliff Sorry, I didn’t see your response. Since my original post I have done some MODs but am still having trouble holding an adequate temp. I have:                Extended the pipe down to the grate                Installed two temp at grate lvl one on the FB side the other near the new pipe...

    Why are my temps so low! Char-griller Pro w/ Sidebox

    I cannot begin to describe the royal pain in the butt that this issue has caused me. I have tried doing a lot of things differently to get the Char-griller up to temp and have even shy'd away from smoking meat and have been just direct grilling because of this issue (don't judge). I am glad I...
