Did a tritip on my UDS today, another great cook! I'm havin a small issue with temp control tho.
I have the three 3/4" intakes, that last two cooks I did I would start my basket by dumping 15 lit coals on top of my full basket and dropping it in the drum. All three vents open to bring it up to temp then cap the two and run the one with the ball valve all the way open. With the valve open my temp gauge says 275, if I close the valve halfway the thing will damn near burn itself out. I'm trying to get the lower temps for the longer cooks but it just won't happen. Any tips?
