Any suggestions? I have two thermometers one at the grate level and one in the lid holes, both reading the same temp.  |
I would agree with the other poster and say too much fuel, but even so, after it burns for a while and settles in, it should come down in temp. If it is staying way up at 360 for more than 15 min or so, with the vents closed then I would say you have some air getting in somewhere. If I close all my vents and exhaust, my uds will drop 100 degrees in an hour or so.
