Seasoning my new Brinkmann smoke n pit

[firelock]

Hi all. Well I finally set her up. Looks great!  I'm seasoning it now. I have 250 degrees on left side and 225 on the right. Any hints on how to even it out. Thanks. I built a basket and am doing the Minion method. It says 400 for the last hour. I dont think sooo.

Well I had a vertical Brinkman smoke and grill. Is this the horizontal model? You can almost count on the therm that came with it being off. Mine was by - 65º.

LOL. Ya I know. No I have 2 thermometers and all the Mods. Its an Off-Set. just got it up to 275 on the left and 250 on the right. Guess I have to play with it some more.....Brinkmann must have replaced the low -med -high thermometer with a dial one. thats the one I have. I put 2 new ones on.
