Ive got mine in seasoning as we speak. I tossed a bag of lava rock in the waterpan. I also decided to try those weber parafin cube starters. since the ash pan is so nicely attached to the firebox, I just put 2 in the ash pan, lit and slid the ash pan in. After 20 or so min the rear corner was nice and lit so I slid it in. after it hit about 150, I hooked the guru up, took it to 250, overshot to 260, brought it to 300 and over shot another 10, then 350 and overshot 10 so now I closed the fan damper a bit and the exhaust vent open about 25%. Just hit he inside and the grates with some pam. me thinks this time she holds fine at 350 with the dampers closed up a bit.
Too bad I lost my camera battery charger somewhere in my kitchen remodel thats mid progress. I see the Guru is looking for pictures of cookers in the snow. Picturesque snow fall as I type
