Temp Regulation

[the smokinator]

I'm still an amateur at this smoking and I'm still fighting trying to regulate the temp in my CharGriller side firebox smoker.  It goes from one extreme to another and then when you open the firebox to add more wood/charcoal, there it goes again.  Now that it's winter in Colorado, will I ever be able to smoke something for Christmas, etc.?  Thanks!

Practice makes perfect, but if you want to do some modifications to your smoker it may be easier to hold a constant temp.

 Here are some of the mods that are made for your smoker. Lots to read. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/search.php?search=chargriller+mods

Fire regulation is something that will come with practice. You need a good bed of coals and then you can regulate it with the air flow vents Atleast that how I do it when I'm smoking on a wood burning smoker.
