I have adding more charcoal. Done everything I know how but can't get it over 175 degrees. I am trying to cook two pork tenderloins indirect but the grill won't get any hotter. Suggestions?
Help! Can't get my Kamado Joe to get to temperature!

Did you clean the firebox before adding new charcoal? I believe old charcoal/ash may be clogging up the intake holes in the fire box.

Well that could be it. I cleaned but maybe not that well

Sometimes ash or a tiny piece of lump can get stuck in the holes of the firebox and the fire grate. Most likely that's whats going on. It's a PITA, but that's why I like placing larger pieces of lump on the bottom, then pile on the smaller pieces on top.

It could also be wet or damp charcoal.
