I am a Newbie and I have been having trouble BBQ-ing. I have a Char-Broil Silver Smoker (which I understand is a lower grade). I have used it to barbeque some salmon and some ribs now and have had some success. However, I do have a problem:
* I am having trouble getting the temperature to reach a high enough level (225+). There are times that it sits at 175. I am also having a tough time regulating the temperature. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me. Does it have to do with:
- the amount of charcoal or wood being used?
- How and when I add wood?
- Something with the vents (the temperature really doesn't go up even if the vents are open fully)
- the positioning?
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
