I've been having issues controlling my temperatures lately, its getting a little colder outside with the fall weather. My current set up's have 8 1/2" exhaust holes in the lids and 3 3/4" ball valve intakes (They are reduced port so more like 1/2"), two of the intakes have 90's and a 24" pipe and ones just straight out. Could my issues be not enough air intake? My temperatures with everything wide open barely make 250. I've read a few places that 1/2" intakes is fine. Could it be something else? My charcoal basket is 17" wide by 12" high, I usually run it about half full (Full bag). Center of intakes to grate level is 24" (I know it should be 26" but I didn't have the vertical height). Everything is sealed off nicely.... not sure what else I could tell you....
