I'm not sure if this is where I need to post this, but I have a question. I just bought the smoker unit for the above mentioned grill. I am having trouble getting the temp even near 200 with charcoal only. I use wood chunks (hickory) to get the temp up to around 250, or so. I've been told of a couple of things to try, but my question is...Is there a way to get the temp up to over 200 without the use of wood, meaning charcoal only. I use Kingsford Original briquets. When I use the grill as my smoker for small things, such as a whole chicken, I don't have the problem with generating enough heat. This all changes with charcoal only if I use my smoker unit. If anyone has suggestions or can advise me on what I need to do to generate the heat I need with charcoal only, I would greatly appreciate the input...
Thanks,
Mike
P.S...I DID smoke a 13.5 pound turkey in it using the smoker unit as I described above (charcoal with wood chunks) and it turned out great...Maybe I'm still a bit too unsure about how the smoker unit works, since I've only used it twice so far...
